"The Future Freaks Me Out"
Iâm on fire and now I think Iâm ready to bust a move
Check it out Iâm rocking steady
Go!
Betty wonât stop listening to modern rock
How she hates to be alone
I try to compensate her lack of love with coffee cake
Ice cream and a bottle of ten dollar wine she says hey
I rock the Haro sport
I rock the cow girl blues
I rock too fast for love Iâm footloose in my Velcro shoes
Whatâs up with Will and Grace?
I donât get drum and bass
The future freaks me out
Iâm on fire and now I think I'm ready to bust a move
Check it out Iâm rocking steady
To the beat in my head
It goes oh, oh, oh
I know that sheâs the only one
Iâd rather waste our time together
Yea, âcause we can get down
Betty canât quit carving question marks in my wrist
How come weâre so alone
We waste away the days with nicotine and television samples
From an era we hate to admit we embrace
We fail to represent
We fail to be content
We fail at everything we ever even try to attempt
And so the story goes
As only Betty knows
Itâs time we take control
(Get Down)
Iâm on fire and now I think I'm ready to bust a move
Check it out Iâm rocking steady
To the beat in my head
It goes oh, oh, oh
I know that sheâs the only one
Iâd rather waste my time with her
(Betty, I need you
I miss you
Iâm so alone without you
To call up on the weekends with my cellular phone)
Betty itâs so hard to relate
To the whole human race
I donât know where to begin
I donât know where to begin
If we can both find a way
To do the things that we say
We might not sit in our rooms
And drink our daydreams away
Betty, Iâm a dreamer
Iâm not a vicious screamer
Oh betty wonât you.. ah fuck it
Iâm on fire and now I think I'm ready to bust a move
Check it out Iâm rocking steady
To the beat in my head
It goes oh, oh, oh, oh
I know that sheâs the only one
Iâd rather waste our time together
Yeah, âcause we can get down.
