Charles David Sharp Poet Lyric

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
