Lonely in the Future Lyrics


I did that yesterday, oh-oh
I heard that years ago when I was a kid
I didn’t want to do it years ago, but I did
I did that yesterday when I was a kid

Weeknd, I like your outfit
YOLO, you only live once
Dude kept the beat “As it was”
John Legend, that’s Josh Groban
I guess I’m flattered, maybe
All good, we are still, baby
Y’all ready for the next fact?
Chris Hedges next

I did that yesterday, oh-oh
I did that years ago when I was a kid
I didn’t want to do it yesterday, but I did
I did that yesterday when I was a kid

You don’t get it, it’s a pity
Maybe you’ll catch up sooner
Rather than later, baby
It’s lonely in the future

You don’t get it, it’s a pity
Maybe you’ll catch up sooner
Rather than later, sorry
It’s lonely in the future

I heard that twenty fucking years ago, I did
Fantano, word for word, when I was a kid
Stick to the technical, ’cause that’s great
But you would not recognize art in any age

On the first date we had
I jumped in the water, yeah
The costume is soaking wet
I’d like to dry it
Join me as I pray
For the grace to be merciful
Help me not lay waste, ’cause it’s not their fault
I don’t care
I don’t care
Anybody try, name a place, I’m there

I wore that years ago, I did
I liked that years ago when I was a kid
And in a hundred thousand days from now, I’ll say
I did that yesterday when I was a kid
