Song Description

A look into the future from the past

Lyrics

Did you hear? They?ll be landing men on the moon
They?ll be crash landing back in the ocean soon
But despite being heroes and earning fame
Lots of kids in the future won?t know their names.

All our TV?s won?t play only black & white
There?ll be color pictures keeping us up all night
And the bands that we love but don?t get to see
Will be played on this thing they call MTV

And I swear that nothing I say is a lie
I?m not smart enough to make it up if I tried

So take a look in my Crystal Ball
Got it off the shelf of my pawn shop wall
I don?t know what I see, but I see it all
When I take a look in my crystal ball

All our music will come on these shiny disks
Don?t make popping noises and rarely skip
You?ll be able to burn them at home, with ease
Filled with lots of free music, called MP3s

And I swear that all I say is true
Come along, I?ll show it all to you

So take a look in my Crystal Ball
Got it off the shelf of my pawn shop wall
I don?t know what I see, but I see it all
When I take a look in my crystal ball

We will all have these cellular telephones
So we can yell at each other when we?re not home
And we?ll all be glued to the Internet
Trying to have sex with people we?ve never met

And I?m not crazy and I?m not cracked
But I?m looking ahead and not turning back..

So take a look in my Crystal Ball
Got it off the shelf of my pawn shop wall
I don?t know what I see, but I see it all
When I take a look in my crystal ball?
Crystal Ball?Crystal Ball?Crystal Ball?
