Backwards Century Lyrics

I used to want to get a-

Away somewhere

I used to live in a backward century

I wish it was the future

I wouldn't care

About the fearsome effects of entropy

I look around and see only what's obsolete

The early versions of things in redesign

Two Stanford students with lap-tops on Alma Street

Are coming up with the world I want for mine

Like Frankenstein

My brain will be fed nice thoughts, and I won't care

What goes on outside my ten foot bio-cube

They'll hook me up all day in a dentist's chair

Machines will suck out the drool with vacuum tubes

I used to want it to do something bad to you

As if it was going to show you decency

I surely thought it would shake out what wasn't trueLoud Family - Backwards Century - http://motolyrics.com/loud-family/backwards-century-lyrics.html

Nothing would shake but beliefs and the leaves on the trees

The universal sign for do not disturb

The universal sign for do not disturb

The universal sign for take your trouble outside onto the curb

I used to want to get a-

Away somewhere

I used to live in a backward century

I wish it was the future

I wouldn't care

About the fearsome effects of entropy

I used to want it to do something bad to you

As if it was going to show you decency

I surely thought it would shake out what wasn't true

And nothing shakes but beliefs and leaves on the trees

Backward we're going backward we're going

Backward we're going backward we're going

Bye
