I zip to school on strips of light
My super specs augment my sight
Remote controls adjust my height —
I’m living in the future.
I eat my dinner in a pill
No viruses can make me ill
My iPhone 30 is a thrill —
I’m living in the future.
My DNA has been enhanced
by microchips that are advanced;
my new IQ leaves you entranced —
I’m living in the future.
Those past travails have been and gone
A brave new world? Just bring it on!
I’m proud to carry the baton
for living in the future.
But here I am, without a friend
My mum and dad have met their end
so stop this game! Let’s not pretend
I’m living in the future...
