Straight outta school Feeling like a fool And it's your first job Doesn't pay you a lot

And you think yourself back to when you were young When you didn't have to work and you only had fun

And the future has come Yeah, the future has come Now the future has come Yeah, the future has come

Got your degree But it wasn't for free Now you're one more face In a crowded place

And you think yourself back to when you were young When you didn't have to work and you only had fun Now you've gotta stand out from everyone

And the future has come Yeah, the future has come Now the future has come Yeah, the future has come And you think yourself back to when you were young When you didn't have to work and you only had fun And the future has come Yeah, the future has come

How time can flow Gone before you know Just gotta take it slow And things will change Nothing stays the same Just gotta let it go

Then you find yourself here Where you've made a career All the things that you missed Did they even exist?

And you think yourself back to when you were young When you didn't have to work and you only had fun And you can't stop now, 'cause you've gotta get on But you can't slow down, you've already begun

And the future has come Yeah, the future has come Now the future has come Yeah, the future has come And you think yourself back to when you were young When you didn't have to work and you only had fun And the future has come Yeah, the future has come
