When I was ten years old
I remember thinking how cool it would be
When we were goin on an eight hour drive
If I could just watch T.V.
And I'da give anything
To have my own packman game at home
I use to have to get a ride down to the arcade
Now I've got it on my phone

Chorus:
Hey, Glory, Glory, Halaluya
Welcome to the future

My Grandpa was in World War 2He faught against the Japanese
He wrote a hundred letters to my Grandma
Mailed them from his base in the Phillipenes
I wish they could see this now
Will they say it's changed a note
Cause I was on a video chat this morning
With a company in Tokyo
Chorus:
Hey, everyday's a revolution
Welcome to the future
Hey, look around it's all so clear
Hey, wherever we were goin, well we're here
Hey, so many things I never thought I'd seeHappening right in front of me

I had a friend in school
Running back of the football team
They burned a cross in his front yard
For asking out the Homecoming Queen
I thought about him today
And everybody who seen what he seen
From a woman on a bus
To a man with a dream

Chorus:
Hey, wake up Martin Luther
Hey, Glory, Glory, Halaluya
Welcome to the future
