Once a beautiful miss america married mr. right
had a little baby girl, born on a stormy night
but that was once upon a time, now it's a brand new world
gimme the future, gimme the future, gimme the future with a modern girl
gimme the future, gimme the future, gimme the future with a modern girl
somewhere just between the past and somethin' dawnin' new
there's a break in the chain, there's a skip in the clock
girl that's where i'm gonna find you
between the boy i was before and what i'm gonna be
there's a clash on the border, a flame in the sky
girl that's where you're gonna find me
Can't you hear the planet groanin' like a broken down machine
rusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens
but you and i stand innocent, baby it's a brand new world
gimme the future, gimme the future, gimme the future with a modern girl
gimme the future, gimme the future, gimme the future with a modern girl
(gimme the future, gimme the future, gimme the future with a modern girl)
Bridge:
We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway
(gimme the future, gimme the future)
laughin' while the road maps blow away
(gimme the future with a modern girl)
we're the son and the daughter and we ain't afraid
(gimme the future, gimme the future)
won't be makin' the mistakes our fathers made
(gimme the future with a modern girl)
(gimme the future, gimme the future) oh, gimme the future with a modern girl
(gimme the future, gimme the future) oh, gimme the future with a modern girl
Once a beautiful miss america married mr. right
had a little baby boy, born on a stormy night
but that was once upon a time, now it's a brand new world
Gimme the future, gimme the future - gimme the future with a modern girl...
