He Visto El Futuro
Duo Kie
I've Seen the Future
[Nerviozzo]
I was in the living room of my house, eating pizza,
when Miriam, who is my wife, told me with a smile,
(my love, today is your mother's birthday, and you haven't called her),
are you sure?, (you always forget).
I grabbed my phone and searched for my mother's number and dialed.
[Locus]
(Yeah!) year 2220,
Madrid is the city that stinks the most,
I was about to take my ship to go party,
suddenly that old piece of junk started making noise,
that my great-grandfather left me after kicking the bucket,
mobile phone, I don't know what the hell, how it works,
one green button says yes, the other Motorola.
(Hello?), hello? (who is this?) who are you, man?,
(I was calling my mother, I got confused),
it's impossible, nowadays no one gets confused,
we're in the 23rd century, don't be so lame.
[Nerviozzo]
What?, 23rd century?, are you kidding me? (no),
hell yeah, that fits me perfectly,
I have a rap group that is awesome
and we're doing a track called "I've seen the future".
[Locus]
Wow, really?,
rap was banned a century and a half ago,
nowadays there's only party music and techno salsa.
[Nerviozzo]
Given how things are going, I'm not surprised,
and there's a doubt that eats me up inside, what about sex?
[Locus]
Are you kidding me? we're in Spain,
even though AIDS is an epidemic, they manage to have sex.
[Nerviozzo]
Yeah? and TV?
[Locus]
TV? there's only one show,
it lasts 24 hours, Martian Chronicles.
Yes, they cryogenically froze Javier Sardá's head,
he's the Minister of Culture and who knows what else.
[Nerviozzo]
Great, we're screwed, by the way, what will happen to Africa and its hungry people?
[Locus]
Well, sorry, they're all dead,
it was just a matter of time.
[Nerviozzo]
Damn governments!,
I bet there was a union of countries,
a great nation of unhappy people, and who's in charge?
[Locus]
Look, the whole world is ruled by a redneck,
George W. Bush V.
[Nerviozzo]
The great-grandson? of the one looking for weapons of mass destruction?
[Locus]
Well, it's him, and he's still looking for them.
[Nerviozzo]
Shit, man, I knew it,
tell me at least you found other forms of energy.
[Locus]
Well, yes, but you won't like it,
even a damn coffee maker has a nuclear battery.
[Nerviozzo]
Don't screw with me, what a strange world,
and what does the church say? (they got involved) ha, of course.
[Locus]
You see, Pepsi and the Vatican merged,
they created Christ-Cola and gain followers every year.
[Nerviozzo]
Look, maybe this sounds like a comic to you,
there are those who say Jesus came from another planet, (really?),
others say he was a stoner, (yeah, and what do you think?),
honestly? I don't give a shit.
[Locus]
No wonder,
here we all think more or less the same way,
the aliens came and told us everything,
(yeah? and what's the truth?),
honestly, it's disappointing, you don't want to know.
[Nerviozzo]
Wow, I'm sure there won't be McDonald's anymore,
we'll be left without McChicken, right?
[Locus]
No way!!!,
there are burgers for every region,
paella, stew, and chicken with peppers.
[Nerviozzo]
Come on, let me ask the last question,
is there still drugs, partying, and hookers?
[Locus]
Some things never change,
people still want to escape,
drug themselves, shut up, feel free without laughing.
[Nerviozzo]
Hey, is all this shit you've told me really true?
[Locus]
You're a fool, man, are you high?,
I'm Locus damn it, you got confused.
[Nerviozzo]
Oh..yeah!..I know! I was messing with you
(yeah, right!), screw you (come on),
yes (gotcha), screw you.
Damn dude...(babe, what did your mom say?)..shit.
