Take the Tardis forward in time,
Start my Delorian
I'm part historian part tourist when I
Hitchhike galaxies on the Enterprise
Will calamity decide whether we live or we die
Soar to the stars or burn in our pride
Rise of the Machines, well they haven’t risen far
I Totally Recall we'd be living on mars

Landed on the moon or so they say
New millennium and a digital age
The future is now but I’m disappointed
Where's our hovercraft cars and our teleporters?

Future visions of the past
The 80's had a flavour that reality lacks
No judgement day just the Y2k
And the year following was no Space Odyssey
2012 prophecies, dystopia teems
From utopian dreams
Indeed I am pleased we're not living a scene
From Soylent Green, if I had a time machine
I’d take it back to the old BC
Before technology ruled our lives
Chill with praetorians in the Roman times
Part historian, part tourist when I
High five a pharaoh by the Nile side

Landed on the moon or so they say
Automatic doors, cloned DNA
The future is now but I’m underwhelmed
Where’s our portal guns and anti-gravity belts?

Alone, stuck in the past-with-a blown flux capacitor
With luck ill have a chance to get back
So I Tap a lightning strike atop the pantheon and I'm home
Back up in the present make a time machine train wreck
keep life unexpected I elect to maintain living life by each day
The future’s unwritten. There’s no fate but what we make.
