[Intro]

Hello, ladies and gentlemen

Well, today we are going to talk about a rather serious topic

The future

What does the future hold?

Today we are going to make some predictions

Maybe someday man will look back on such predictions

[Interlude]

The year, as you know, is 1945

One hundred years from now, it will be 2045

It is difficult to imagine the state of the world in 100 years

The world has changed drastically in the past 100 years

Just 100 years ago, in the year 1845, the concept of self-powered flying machines seemed as ridiculous an idea as ever to many

Through this great Industrial Revolution the world has seen more change than ever before

Keep this in mind as we go over our predictions for the next 100 years

[Verse 1]

Accept this gift, my sacrifice

Through this great Industrial Revolution

For the netherworld, our paradise

Through this great Industrial Revolution

[Interlude]

In 100 years, I predict that man will have stepped foot on other celestial bodies such as the moon and the planet Mars

In 100 years, I predict that the average man will get his news and entertainment from a variety of sources

Big companies will no longer have a monopoly on the news and entertainment people enjoy

I predict that in 100 years cars will no longer be constrained to the ground

They will have the ability to fly in the air at will

And the energy that powers the cars will come from the Sun

I predict the television sets will shrink to the point that they can fit on our wristwatches

Now, remember, these are only predictions

[Verse 2]

Accept my blood, my right to breathe

Through this great Industrial Revolution

Poisoned soil guaranteed

Through this great Industrial Revolution

Now, remember, these are only predictions

[Interlude]

I think that in 100 years there will be film cameras at every street corner

They will be put in place in the name of our safety, but our freedoms will increasingly vanish

We will trade our freedom for safety

We will allow our rights to be eroded because the authorities tell us it will keep our children safe

Now, remember, these are only predictions not prophecy

Maybe someday a future man will look back on them

Good day

[Verse 3]

Accept this gift, my sacrifice

Through this great Industrial Revolution

For the netherworld, our paradise

Through this great Industrial Revolution

A land where flesh rots to the core

Through this great Industrial Revolution

A place we take until there is no more

Through this great Industrial Revolution

[Outro]

Two oh four five, two oh four five

Two oh four five, two oh four five

Two oh four five, two oh four five

Two oh four five, two oh four five

Two oh four five, two oh four five
