I can remember when this was the future 
Where it was gonna be at back then 
Why don't we turn the whole bloody lot down 
And make a new start all over again? 

I can recall Utopian thinking 
Bold mission statements and tightening of belts 
Demolition of familiar landmarks 
Promises made and deals that were dealt 

This used to be the future 
Where it was at back then 
Let's turn the whole bloody lot down 
And start all over again 

But that future was exciting 
Science fiction made fact 
Now all we have to look forward to 
Is a sort of suicide pact 

Was it the dear old future 
That created the problems we face? 
How do we deal with the fallout 
Of the age we used to call space? 

I can remember planning for leisure 
Living in peace and freedom from fear 
Science that promised to make us a new world 
Religion and prejudice disappear 

I can remember when this was the future 
Where it was gonna be at back then 
Now religion and nuclear energy have united 
To threaten, oh God! Amen 

This used to be the future 
Where it was at back then 
Now religion and nuclear energy have united 
Oh God! Amen 

Was it the dear old future 
That created the problems we face? 
How do we deal with the fallout 
Of the age we used to call space? 

This used to be the future 
Where it was at back then 
Let's turn the whole bloody lot down 
And start all over again 

Amen
