I watched women in Egypt crying tears of joy
On my mobile telephone on the overground
From Hackney Wick to Camden on my way
To buy my girlfriend an engagement ring
"Living In The Future" I thought
The women were still crying tears of
Joy in Egypt when we
Switched the television on in Stephen
Hague's flat in Paris
And when I switched the radio on
They were playing the ODB

Shimmy shimmy ya shimmy yam shimmy yay
Give em the mic or they will take it away
Them old tricks won't work cos it's a new day
Its a new level of the game
And a new way to play ave, I say
PAX dONICUS
Olé to every one of us
Cos they been bombing us bumming us
But they failed numbing us
And soon they'll see that it
Is they that's under us

They say the worlds gone crazy
Its amazing to me
If these the last days baby
Then I'm grateful to be how fine
To live interesting times
We live in interesting times
We've more than money on our minds
We love each other how sublime
Yo live interesting times
We live in interesting times
I had this ring in a box, in my left pocket
It kept rattling
I was trying to stop it rattling
Cos I didn't want to give
Away the fact that I had a ring in a box
Paris is beautiful
But there is dogshit everywhere

I saw a dictator on a live stream
It was tragic he thought he was the only
Motherfucker with the magic
He looked as if he never
Even dreamed of the day
When the people would come and
Take his powers away but they never were his
They were just borrowed
A tissue for your sorrow
We're living in tomorrow
Who knows what will follow
I just know what I saw the thousands amassed
The next day there were more
They used the same words
The words filled with power
A vampire can only devour
And cower in the presence of light
And with many there is might
And you don't need a weatherman to tell
When the night is nearly over
And day is dawning born and bawling
Six in the morning
The wind changed and some got
Stuck with the silly face
That couture don't suit you
We're living in the future

They say the worlds gone crazy
Its amazing to me
If these the last days baby
Then I'm grateful to be how fine
To live interesting times
We live in interesting times
We've more than money on our minds
We love each other how sublime
To live interesting times
We live in interesting times

Now this isn't quite the end of the sotry
And I know some of you at
Home are wondering what she said
What do you think she said? YES!
