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
