Lyrics
Once a beautiful Miss America married Mr. Right
Had a little baby girl, born on a stormy night
But that was once upon a time, now it's a brand-new world
Gimme the future, gimme the future
Gimme the future with a modern girl
Gimme the future, gimme the future
Gimme the future with a modern girl
Somewhere just between the past, and somethin' dawnin' new
There's a break in the chain, a skip in the clock
Girl, that's where I'm gonna find you
Between the boy I was before, and what I'm gonna be
There's a clash on the border, a flame in the sky
Girl, that's where you gonna find me
Can't you hear the planet groanin', like a broken down machine
Rusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens
But you and I stand innocent, baby, it's a brand-new world
Gimme the future, gimme the future
Gimme the future with a modern girl
Gimme the future, gimme the future
Gimme the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future
Gimme the future with a modern girl)
We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Oh, laughin' while the road maps blow away
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
We're the son and the daughter and we ain't afraid
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Won't be makin' the mistakes our fathers made
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Oh, gimme the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Oh, gimme the future with a modern girl
Once a beautiful Miss America married Mr. Right
Had a little baby boy, born on a stormy night
But that was once upon a time, now it's a brand-new world
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Gimme the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Gimme the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Oh, gimme the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Oh, won't you gimme the future with a modern girl
Gimme the future, gimme the future
So, won't you gimme the future with a modern girl
We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway (gimme the future, gimme the future)
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
Oh, laughin' while the road maps blow away (gimme the future, gimme the future)
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
We're the son and the daughter, and we ain't afraid (gimme the future, gimme the future)
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
Won't be makin' the mistakes our fathers made (gimme the future, gimme the future)
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
(Gimme the future with a...)
