La gente del futuro

Time's running out, the century's fading away
Frantically moving forward, the nuclear age
The cry of a man gets lost among a thousand
And the youth of the year 2000 are born
And where are the brilliant scientists now?
Inventing the peaceful ray bomb somehow
And where are the critical philosophers now?
Dyeing their words with political interests somehow
And where's the good? Under whose thumb?

Where's the example that can guide us as law?
The crisis of man is almost total
Only sees values in the material
Forces power over the subtle
His weak conscience crawls to be vile
And where are the psychoanalysts now?
Calming the neuroses of the shareholders somehow
And where are the peaceful hippies now?

Fighting to support their families somehow
And where are you, famous guru?
Now that they've left and turned off the light
This is the people of the future, and this present is so damn tough
It's the material with which we'll build a total tomorrow
It’s pointless to stab yourself in the back
Crying over the letter of the fatal tango
We need to create a better world
Because this one is sick and we are not
And where's the desire to live a party?
No point in holding back when the orchestra plays
And where's that protest singer now?

Screaming out his new proposal somehow
And where are you and where am I?
Riding the music of rock 'n' roll
This is the people of the future, and this present is in such a rush
It's the material with which we'll build a total tomorrow
It's the material with which we'll build a total tomorrow
It's the material with which we'll make a total tomorrow
It's the material with which we'll make a total tomorrow
