When I was ten years old,   I remember thinkin' how cool it would be,   When we were goin' on an eight hour drive,   If I could just watch T.V.      And I'd have given anything   To have my own PacMan game at home.   I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade;   Now I've got it on my phone.      He-e-ey...   Glory glory hallelujah.   Welcome to the future.      My grandpa was in World War II,   He fought against the Japanese.   He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma;   Mailed em from his base in the Philippines.      I wish they could see this now,   Where they say this change can go.   Cause I was on a video chat this morning   With a company in Tokyo.      He-e-ey...   Everyday is a revolution.   Welcome to the future.      He-e-ey...   Look around it's all so clear.   He-e-ey...   Wherever we would go and well we...   He-e-ey...   So many things I never thought I'd see...   Happening right in front of me.      I had a friend in school,   Running-back on a football team,   They burned a cross in his front yard   For asking out the home-coming queen.      I thought about him today,   Everybody who's seen what he's seen,   From a woman on a bus   To a man with a dream.      He-e-ey...   Wake up Martin Luther.   Welcome to the future.   He-e-ey...   Glory glory hallelujah.   Welcome to the future.
