The Future is Disappointing

from Vom Vorton at Geek Pop by Vom Vorton

lyrics

I was gonna get up but why bother?
when my car refuses to hover
and nobody will be going to work in gravity tubes
and I’d go back to sleep but I think
my imagination is on the blink
and I’d dream of a world where food is served in cubes

you promised we’d have phones in our watches by now
and we’d all live in domes on the moon
but instead we all tell the time on our phones
and we won’t be moving into space any time soon

because the future’s disappointing
or is it just me?

so I drive into work, singing along
to a shiny disc, full of songs
some of which were pulled straight out of the air
because my computing machine
is connected to a wireless stream
giving me access to everything I want to hear

the phone in my pocket is now a computer as well
it's also a camera, that can play tunes and check my mail
and in the rare event that I think of something funny to say
informing the whole world is only a few clicks away

so is the future disappointing
or is it just me?
