Each moment's just a reflex

Response is just a motion

The pressure never ends baby

I hope it don't drive me crazy

I don't wanna be a poor boy

It don't help to say gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme

I ain't foolin' myself now

All I know is what I feel



I know I don't like it

You can't disagree

Come on, say it'll be alright

I say yeah, yeah, yeah



Future tense, gone too far

Future tense, a world apart

Future tense, more than a feeling in my heart

Oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)



I feel a little unbalanced

Between the pros and the con men

I try for satisfaction

You always let it slide

Every day is like the last day

Whatever happened to 50, 50, 50, 50

I don't have a solution

All I know is what I feel baby



I heard about the good life

I'd like to give it a try

They say it's gonna be alright

I say yeah, yeah, yeah



Future tense, is what I feel

Future tense, is what I see

Future tense, as much for you as it is for me

Oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)



If you don't like somebody

Say "leave me alone"

It's just like a bad time

You have to make good on your own



We're racing through time now

It's all hit and run

You say it's gonna be alright

I say yeah, yeah, yeah



Future tense, we've gone too far

Future tense, a world apart

Future tense, more than a feelin' in my heart

Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)

No (yeah), no (yeah), no (yeah), oh no
