Laws - Yesterday's Future (Mr. Bellamy Part III) lyrics

My love doesn’t go in the mornin'
I beat the track, then I pillow talk it
There was poetry in motion
But, I never saw it till it was you walkin'
And I still remember the day
The four elements were auctioned
Overweight bureaucrats all got a portion
In a last effort, we rounded up the poor kids
Couldn’t afford admission to get us all in
So me and some beggar watched in horror
As the highest bidder took a
Puff of his cigar and purchased a life for
Less than six figures
"Some damn deal", he snickered
I walked home past the rap
Mural and I shivered
Sign posted, coming soon: Fred’s Liquor
Through the clash of the sirens
And claps of the trigger
Heard a sound I could barely register
Some old McCartney tune with a defined rhythm
I start thinking maybe I could flip it
But that was yesterday and now
This is the future
