Where's My Flying Car

There was so much potential when I was a kid The future looked brighter than it ever did We'd put a man on the moon and the sky was no limit Was a brave new world if only for a minute Was supposed to be some giant leap For mankind and technology And very soon we'd all take shuttles to the moon And just like the Jetsons have a robot or two It's a new millennium It's way past 2001 Where's the future I was promised where's my trip to Mars Where's world peace, where's my flyin' car Life got harder, I got taller Bombs got smarter, phones got smaller Virtual reality Just ain't real enough for me It's a new millennium It's way past 2001 Where's the future I was promised where's my trip to Mars Where's world peace, where's my flying car Now the only Star Treking's on my TV set The only place I visit is the internet Ones and zeroes filling up the air We think we're really going places when we're going nowhere It's a new millennium It's way past 2001 Where's the future I was promised where's my trip to Mars Where's world peace, where's my flying car ©2002.
