Herbie Hancock - Future Shock lyrics

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

Everybody, it's the Future Shock
Future Shock future Shock (Shock Shock)

Hey, little sister where's your brother?
See your momma standing on the soup line

Our blessed father
Ain't got the strength to be bothered
The almighty world, hear me, girl
Was bound to weigh him down

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

Everybody, it's the Future Shock
(Shock, Shock, Shock) future Shock
Future Shock (Shock, Shock) future Shock
Future Shock

Our worldly figures
They're playing for niggers
Oh, see them dancing see how they're dancing
To The Superfly

Woo! yeah, ain't it dumb
When they don't know where we're coming from?
Dancing in our youth crying out for truth
To get over, over, over

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

Everybody, it's the Future Shock
(Shock, Shock, Shock) future Shock
Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)
Future Shock

Hey, big sister where's your mister?
Dress to the pole try to get whole
It's all right

What's going on? You seem always alone
Couldn't raise the bail man, he's in jail
Get over

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

Everybody, it's the Future Shock
(Shock, Shock, Shock)

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)
Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)
Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)
Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)
Future Shock
Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Price of the feat
Higher than the dope in the street
Is it any wonder
For those with nothing to eat?

Son's got it made
But still seems so afraid, my friend
There's no love for his brother
No friends for another future Shock
Hurts me, going on future Shock
Everyone's alone
Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)
Don't know the people future Shock
Future Shock
Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Everyone's alone
Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)
Don't know the people
Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)
Afraid of the steeple
Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh!
Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)
Hurts me, going on, woo ooh! Future Shock
Future Shock

Everyone's alone future Shock
Future Shock don't know the people
Future Shock afraid, afraid of the steeple
Future Shock future Shock woo! Future Shock
Future Shock not a lotta thinkers
Future Shock
