Once a beautiful Miss America married Mr. Right
Had a little baby girl, born on a stormy night
But that was once upon a time, now it's a brand new world
Give me the future, give me the future, give me the future with my modern girl
Gimme the future, gimme the future, gimme the future with my modern girl
Somewhere just between the past and somethin' dawnin' new
There's a break in the chain, a skip in the clock
Girl, that's where I'm gonna find you
Between the boy I was before and what I'm gonna be
There's a clash on the border, a flame in the sky
Girl, that's where you're gonna find me
Can't you hear the planet groanin' like a broken down machine?
Rusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens
But you and I stand innocent, baby, it's a brand new world
Gimme the future, gimme the future, gimme the future with my modern girl
Gimme the future, gimme the future, gimme the future with my modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future, gimme the future with my modern girl)
We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Laughin' while the road maps blow away
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
We're the son and the daughter and we ain't afraid
Won't be makin' the mistakes our fathers made
(Gimme the future with my modern girl)
(Gimme the future, gimme the future) oh, gimme the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future) oh, gimme the future with a modern girl
Once a beautiful Miss America married Mr. Right
