Future Shock

from The Future is Strange by Arcade Destiny

/

lyrics

Do you remember hanging out?
Partying with all your friends?
Going to backyard shows
In good ol' La Puente?

What happened to the good old days?
Why is the future so strange?
Nobody ever warned me
My body would hate me at 40


The struggle is real
This is a real future shock
I don't see the appeal
Why'd we rush to grow up?

Future shock!
Future shock!

The liquor store around the corner
Isn't there any more
The comic shop I used to go to
Is now an adult store

The 24-hour taco shop
Is now a McDonald's
And all the kids I grew up with
Now have their own kids and I have none.

The struggle is real
This is a real future shock
I don't see the appeal
Why'd we rush to grow up?

Future shock!
Future shock!

The girl I crushed on in highschool
Is now marrying off her kids
The dudes I used mosh with
Are now working double shifts

The bands that got me through highschool
Are now retired or dead
The shows we loved are now cringe
I'm only 43 don't you call me a boomer


The struggle is real
This is a real future shock
I don't see the appeal
Why'd we rush to grow up?

Future shock!
Future shock!
