The future isn't what it used to be 
I'm not surprised 
I'm not surprised 
Do you think that we like to take our orders from fools? 
They're so behind 
They're so behind 

So they ordered up a love machine 
Directions to your house were demanding 
Now I've got security 
I long to let your hair fall around me 
Fall around me 

To me 
It always is, always assigned to me 
Your love 
Always is, always assigned to me 
Your love 
Always is, always assigned to me 
Your love 
Always is, always assigned  
To me 

The future isn't what it used to be 
I'm not surprised 
I'm not surprised 
Most of us live on boats of luxury 
We're so confined 
We're so confined 

You know that I was born so late 
You know that they've been late all around me 
All around me 

To me 
It always is, always assigned to me 
Your love 
Always is, always assigned to me 
Your love 
Always is, always assigned 
To me 

The future 
The future (oh, oh, oh) 
The future 
The future (oh, oh, oh) 

So they ordered up a love machine 
Directions to your house were demanding 
Now I've got security 
I long to let your hair fall around me 
Fall around me 

To me 
It always is, always assigned to me 
Your love 
Always is, always assigned to me 
Your love 
Always is, always assigned  
To me 
To me 

The future (oh, oh, oh) 
The future
