Lyrics:

Once a beautiful Miss America married Mr. Right Had a little baby girl, born on a stormy night But that was once upon a time, now it's a brand new world Gimme the future, gimme the future, gimme the future with a modern girl Gimme the future, gimme the future, gimme the future with a modern girl Somewhere just between the past and somethin' dawnin' new There's a break in the chain, there's a skip in the clock Girl that's where I'm gonna find you Between the boy I was before and what I'm gonna be There's a clash on the border, a flame in the sky Girl that's where you're gonna find me Can't you hear the planet groanin' like a broken down machine Rusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens But you and I stand innocent, baby it's a brand new world Gimme the future, gimme the future, gimme the future with a modern girl Gimme the future, gimme the future, gimme the future with a modern girl (Gimme the future, gimme the future, gimme the future with a modern girl) [Bridge:] We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway (Gimme the future, gimme the future) Laughin' while the road maps blow away (Gimme the future with a modern girl) We're the son and the daughter and we ain't afraid (Gimme the future, gimme the future) Won't be makin' the mistakes our fathers made (Gimme the future with a modern girl) (Gimme the future, gimme the future) oh, gimme the future with a modern girl (Gimme the future, gimme the future) oh, gimme the future with a modern girl Once a beautiful Miss America married Mr. Right Had a little baby boy, born
