lyrics

I saw it on the news the other day, a doctor claimed he'd cloned a case of clams.
He crossed a Platypus with a Hippopotamus, and he got a perfect Platypotamus.
And then he crossed a soybean with a frog, and grew a human ear on a dog.
Although he made a killing selling French fried, jumping beans,
the dog turned around and ate the frog.

Welcome to the future.
One thing is perfectly clear.
Welcome to the future,
'cause like it or not, it's here.

I heard it on the news the other day, some computers got tangled in a Web.
And then they caught a cold, and an Apple got a worm, and some people got blogged in the head.
Then this guy you know, forgot who he was, 'cause they took away his identity,
They raided his account, and they got the whole amount,
then they charged a rather large consulting fee.

Welcome to the future.
One thing is perfectly clear.
Welcome to the future,
'cause like it or not, it's here.

I read it in the news the other day, that a camera took some pictures out in Space.
They were looking for Sars on the planet Mars, but instead they found a rock with a face.
And a guy stuck a Pod in his eye, just so he could listen to a song,
and watch it on a screen about the size of a bean,
and the song was from the movie, King Kong.

Welcome to the future.
One thing is perfectly clear.
Welcome to the future,
'cause like it or not, it's here.
