When I was ten years old,
I remember thinkin' how cool it would be,
When we were goin' on an eight hour drive,
If I could just watch TV

And I'd have given anything
To have my own PacMan game at home
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade;
Now I've got it on my phone

He-e-ey
Glory glory hallelujah
Welcome to the future

My grandpa was in World War II,
He fought against the Japanese
He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma;
Mailed em from his base in the Philippines

I wish they could see this now,
Where they say this change can go
Cause I was on a video chat this morning
With a company in Tokyo

He-e-ey
Everyday is a revolution
Welcome to the future

He-e-ey
Look around it's all so clear
He-e-ey
Wherever we would go and well we
He-e-ey
So many things I never thought I'd see
Happening right in front of me

I had a friend in school,
Running-back on a football team,
They burned a cross in his front yard
For asking out the home-coming queen

I thought about him today,
Everybody who's seen what he's seen,
From a woman on a bus
To a man with a dream

He-e-ey
Wake up Martin Luther
Welcome to the future
He-e-ey
Glory glory hallelujah
Welcome to the future
