La gente del futuro

Time's running out, the century's fading away
Frantically moving forward, the nuclear age
The cry of a man gets lost among a thousand
And the youth of the year 2000 are born
And where are the brilliant scientists now?
Inventing the bomb for peaceful rays
And where are the critical philosophers now?
Dyeing their words with political interests
And, where's the good? Under whose feet?

Where's the example that can serve as our law?
The crisis of man is almost total
Only seeing values in the material
Forcing strength over the subtle
His weak conscience crawls in servitude
And where are the psychoanalysts now?
Calming the neuroses of the shareholders
And where are the peaceful hippies now?

Fighting to support their families
And where are you, famous guru?
Now that they've left and turned off the light
This is the people of the future, and this present is so damn tough
It's the material with which we'll build a total tomorrow
It’s pointless to stab yourself with a knife
Crying over the letter of the fatal tango
We need to create a better world
Because this one is sick and we are not
And where's the desire to live a party?
It's no use holding back when the orchestra plays
And where's that protest singer now?

Screaming out his new proposal
And where are you and where am I?
Riding the music of rock 'n' roll
This is the people of the future, and this present is in such a rush
It's the material with which we'll build a total tomorrow
It's the material with which we'll build a total tomorrow
It's the material with which we'll make a total tomorrow
It's the material with which we'll make a total tomorrow
