The Future's Going to Forget You

On every newborn
Time's pinching wrinkles
Inescapable & so damn simple

You can't see it, black and feathered
I can feel it, as my face turns to leather

You can get angry
But anger is useless
You can try out some
Needless excuses

You in the back, there
Just forget it
It's going to take all you've got
And spend it

The future's going to forget you
The future's going to forget you

Blurring dendrites
And failing vision
I'm just praying
For one glimpse of wisdom

Welcome dead men
and dead women
we've even got room
for newborns and children

Oh

Every folkie, and every rocker
Every mother's son or daughter

You in the back, there
Just forget it
It's going to take all you've got
And spend it

The future's going to forget you
The future's going to forget you
The future's going to forget you
The future's going to forget you
