Future Shock Songtext
von Curtis Mayfield

Future shock
Ooh-ooh

Hey, little sister
Where′s your brother?
See your mother
Standing on the soup line

God bless your father
Ain't got the strength to be bothered
The almighty world he made there
Was bound to weigh him down

We got to stop all men
From messing up the land
When what we understand
This is our last and only chance

Everybody, it′s a future shock
Future shock, future shock
Future shock, future shock


Our wordly figures
Playin' on niggers
Oh, see them dancing
See how they're dancing to the Superfly

Oh, ain′t it dumb
When you don′t know where we're coming from?
Dancing in our youth, cryin′ for truth
We keep over, over, over and over

We got to stop all men
From messing up the land
When what we understand
This is our last and only chance

Everybody, it's a future shock
Future shock, future shock
Future shock, future shock

The price of the meat
Higher than the dope in the street
Is it any wonder
For those with nothing to eat?

We got to stop all men
From messing up the land
When what we understand
This is our last and only chance


Everybody, it′s a future shock
Future shock, future shock
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Future shock, future shock
