Future Shock - Curtis Mayfield

Future shock

Ooh ho

Hey little sister where's your brother

See your mother standing on the soup line

God bless your father

Ain't got the strength to be bothered

The almighty world hear me now

Whisper on to weigh him down

We got to stop all men from messing up the land

When won't we understand this is our last

And only chance

Everybody it's a future shock

Future shock future shock

Future shock future shock

All worldly figures playing on niggers

Oh see them passing

See how they're dancing to the super fly

Oh ain't it wrong when you

Don't know where we come from

Dancing in our youth

Dying at the truth it ain't over

Over over ain't over

We got to stop all men from messing up the land

When won't we understand this is our last

And only chance

Everybody it's a future shock

Future shock future shock

Future shock future shock

The price of the beat higher than the **

In the street

Is it any wonder for those with nothing to eat

We got to stop all men from messing up the land

When won't we understand this is our last

And only chance

Everybody it's a future shock

Future shock future shock

Future shock future shock
