Future Tense

from Black Diamond by The Resonators

	/

lyrics

Looking for wisdom in all the wrong places
like on the bathroom walls and television stations
And if I had answers I wouldn’t have anything
all I’ve got are questions and no one else is listening

None of this makes any sense
Past and present Future Tense
None of this makes any sense
I’m just past and present Future Tense

Make up your mind and tell me where we’re going
and just what do you need I got no way of knowing
Everything is nothing so what are we so proud of
can’t get something for free so nothing is all I have found

Today’s the oldest that I’ll ever want to be
Cause no one likes you when you’re twenty-three

It’s time to grow up and quit your damn complaining
just get out on the road if you’re lost so what so are we
And now if you don’t try you still just end up nowhere
you’ve got your whole life and fortune favors those who
