When I was ten years old I remember thinking how cool it would be When we were going on an eight-hour drive If I could just watch TV And I'd have given anything To have my own Pac-Man game at home I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade Now I've got it on my phone
Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah Welcome to the future
My grandpa was in World War 2 He fought against the Japanese He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma Mailed them from his base in the Philippines I wish they could see this now Will they say it's changed a note 'Cause I was on a video chat this morning With a company in Tokyo
Hey, every day's a revolution Welcome to the future
Hey, look around it's all so clear Hey, wherever we were going, well we're here Hey, so many things I never thought I'd see Happening right in front of me
I had a friend in school Running back of the football team They burned a cross in his front yard For asking out the homecoming queen I thought about him today And everybody who seen what he seen From a woman on a bus To a man with a dream
Hey, wake up Martin Luther Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah Welcome to the future
