Prince - The Future lyrics

I want U 2 do me a favor

I want U 2 tell all your friends about me"

"What are U?"

"I'm Batman!"

CHORUS:

I've seen the future and it will be

I've seen the future and it works

If there's life after, we will see

So I can't go like a jerk

Systematic overthrow of the underclass

Hollywood conjures images of the past

New world needs spirituality that will last

I've seen the future and it will be

CHORUS

Yellow Smiley offers me X

Like he's drinkin? 7-Up

I would rather drink 6 razor blades

Razor blades from a paper cup

He can't understand, I say 2 tough

It's just that I've seen the future and, boy, it's rough

I? I've seen the future and it will be

I've seen the future and it works

And if there's life after, we will see

So U can't go like a jerk - no, no

I've seen the future and it will be

Wait a minute

Pretty pony standin? on the avenue

Flashin' loaded pistol, 2 dumb 2 be true

Somebody told him playin' cops and robbers was cool

Would our rap have been different if we only knew?

I've seen the future and it will be

I've seen the future and it works

And if there's life after, we will see

Don't go out like a jerk

Systematic overthrow of the underclass

Hollywood conjures images of the past

New world needs spirituality that will last

I've seen the future and it will be, alright

I've seen the future and it will be {x2}

Oh

I've seen the future and it will be {x3}

"Think about the future
