lyrics

In the Future We’ll all play Acoustic Instruments

Chords: Capo 3 C G (D on the end of the chorus)

When human kind rejects the hatred of science
When the soul of a man is no where to be found
We will take to the skies looking for a fresh start
Without taxes, oppression, and bad music all around

In the future
We’ll all play acoustic instruments
And plow the fields with our bare hands
Men will work; women will cook
We could all die of dysentery
And every night we’ll sleep with a smile
A Smile On our face

Hear the strum of the acoustic guitar
The jingle of the frame drum, played under candle light
Drink a pint and sing of the days work
Know life is better now living without nuclear fright

Chorus
