Lyrics

Day and night
Through every eye
Always see a different story
Some are dark 
And some are light
While others itch to build an army

I figured out how to relate
I found the answer in an auto-email
Said settle down or dominate
It said, settle down or dominate

It's good to see you're so fired up, babe
But we're not gonna stop
'Til you all you end up 
Claiming "I win"

'Cause in the future
We will all be beautiful
In the future
We will be unstoppable

Was thinking I could make it right
But realised that that's a folly 
So disappeared into the night
To be continued by a different story
They wouldn't dare to deviate
Make it back, you might ignore the detail

So settle down we'll dominate
So settle down while we dominate

It's good to see you're so fired up, babe
But we're not gonna stop
Til you all you end up 
Claiming "I win"

'Cause in the future
We will all be beautiful
In the future
We will be unstoppable

Gotta get out the way
Keep it moving
Balancing on the blade     (x2)

Traitor, murder, liar(?)/another liar
Dead end, dead end, dead end(?)/did it/didn't/deaden
Get up, line up, fire
Say it, say it, say it     (x2)

I figured out how to relate
I found the answer in an auto-email
Said settle down or dominate
It said, settle down or dominate

In the future
We will all be beautiful
In the future
We will be unstoppable

'Cause in the future
We will all be beautiful
In the future
We will be unstoppable

Gotta get out the way
Keep it moving
Balancing on the blade    (x2)

In the future (balancing on the blade, keep it moving)
We will all be beautiful (balancing on the blade)     (x2)
