Take a Look at the Future - Fair Warning

Midnight all around

Clouds of smog creeping through

Acid rain pouring down

It’s a nightmare come true

Faces pass dreaming blind

Drives me mad blows my mind

Take a look at the future the time is running

Take a look at yourself

Watching the world going down

Take a look at the future our time is coming

Can we hold the wheel of time, can we turn it round

Down south scenes of war

People starve, people die

Got no chance got no rights

Just the will to survive

Wasted lives wasted land

Don’t you see, where it ends

Take a look at the future the time is running

Take a look at yourself

Watching the world going down

Take a look at the future our time is coming

Can we hold the wheel of time, can we turn it round

There’s a place out in space

Used to be paradise

Now the time’s running out

Just to keep it alive

Take a look at the future …

A spell lies hard on this world

We got to break it

If we start changing ourselves

We’re bound to make it
