TIME MACHINE
so i could travel back to places that i'd only se-e-een
on pages in the Internet and television scre-e-een
there's too much violence going on i wanna interve-e-eene
i stopped when i saw bullets and the bows and arrows there
they wanted native tribes to go and didn't even care
that they were chasing people from a land that was their own
ignored me when i told them leave the indians alone
but i am from tomorrow so i showed them my machine
i warned them what would happen cause i'd already foreseen
they talked and talked and talked some more and then they smiled at me
go home to your new world because we changed your history
i stopped when i heard people naming prices for a child
he couldn't run away from them his eyes looked very wild
they said he'll be a perfect slave he's big and strong you see
i begged and tried to reason but they disregarded me
but i am from tomorrow so i showed them my machine
i warned them what would happen cause i'd already foreseen
they talked and talked and talked some more and then they smiled at me
go home to your new world because we changed your history
i stopped when i saw millions being herded into trains
the shock of this before me filled my heart and soul with pains
those arm bands left no doubt of what they were about to do
and so i pleaded with them till my face turned very blue
but i am from tomorrow so i showed them my machine
i warned them what would happen cause i'd already foreseen
they talked and talked and talked some more and then they smiled at me
go home to your new world because we changed your history
i stopped when i heard rumbling it was coming from the tanks
it seemed there was a protest thousands standing ground in ranks
a massacre was certain in that chinese square that day
and no amount of coaxing changed their minds in any way
but i am from tomorrow so i showed them my machine
i warned them what would happen cause i'd already foreseen
they talked and talked and talked some more and then they smiled at me
go home to your new world because we changed your history
at home i put the tv on and lay down on my be-e-ed
our crime rate is at record low the news anchor just sa-a-aid
in fact the world is such a calm non-violent place to be-e-e
i feel that humankind will go on indefinitely-y-y
