You would think the world gets better, but it’s a century later and we’re all depressed. 

People dying, the world is on fire, everyone is on drugs and the worst part of it all

They got the nerve to try to have robots as police. 

No one makes any significant money because we were replaced with artificial intelligence. 

The crime is so high that everyone practically lives in their homes 24/7

Who would’ve thought?

Textbooks ain’t textbooks anymore

There’s no teachers, just programmers. 

But at least we don’t care about Jordans and Monclers 

We only care about taking over the world with nuclear weapons so quiet and deadly 

we wouldn’t even know about it until years later. 

No sense of life. No purpose because it’s all fake. 

The sun doesn’t even shine anymore because it’s blocked by a thick layer of pollution 

that some billion dollar company runs 

There’s no more sports like the ones 100 years ago. 

It was called football back then but now we don’t have any fields with 100 yards that's not 

already occupied with a family hiding because it's overpopulated. 

Wasn’t the future supposed to be fun and better? 

It made everyone even more influenced by social media. 

No more parties, no more going on dates

Guys are even more animalistic, assaulting any women without any consequences 

Children are carrying guns by the age of 9

And school is for target practice. No more history lessons….

Even more deadly diseases ever than before because 

There’s soo many people. 

It's hard not to catch something when you’re all packed in a little self driving tube like sardines. 

Then we don’t even know what animals are because they are dead. 

The ones who survived are kept in a discreet location, 

so the lord knows what they're doing to the last of the animals. 

Nothing has gotten better besides racism honestly. 

Everyone is in poverty now so it's a dog-eat-dog world. 

And healthcare? What even is that?

We don’t have any coverage so we had to learn to become doctors at home

It’s not all bad but the bad outweighs the good for sure 

Everyone is depressed so nobody really talks to one another. 

It's a sad, quiet, lonely world especially with the music we have now. 

It all sounds the same and there's no message in the words 

because everyone is on some type of drug.  

But there’s hope because the future is always unwritten….
