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're 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

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

Gimme the future with a modern girl
Gimme the future
