The horse is fat, the mongrel cat
Jumped off the [A] roof today
Some say he [E] fell, but I can tell
He did himself away
His eyes weren't bright, like they were tonight
He played checkers [A] on the train
Well, God bless his soul, it was [B] a touchy roll
But his steps were just [E] the same
We [A] are living in [E] the future
[A] I'll tell you how [E] I know
[A] I read it [E] in the paper
_ [B]
Fifteen [E] years ago
[A] We're all [E] driving a rocket ship
And talking [E] with our minds
[A] And wearing [E] turquoise jewelry
And [B] standing at the soup line
[B] We're standing [E] at the soup line

_ He ate the barbers
His lonely daughter went down to her [A] daddy's shop
She plugged herself to the [E] barber pole
Took a [B] little off the [E] top
There was pressure on the left, pressure on the right
Pressure in the middle of [A] the hole
I'm going to Maine on a forty foot train
I'm [B] gonna use it for a fishing pole
We [A] are living in [E] the future
[A] I'll tell you how [E] I know
[A] I read it [E] in the paper
_ [B]
Fifteen [E] years ago
[A] We're all [E] driving a rocket ship
And talking with our minds
And wearing [E] turquoise jewelry
[B]
And standing at [E] the soup line
[B] We're standing [E] at the soup line _

_ Oh Sarah Brown, Sarah's ticket down
At the all night picture [A] show
With a grand-dive [E] sex and a riddle with an [B] X
Just to make a young [E] man's pants grow
No tops, no bottoms, just the [Em] hands and feet
[E] Screaming the folks who sat on the street
Strangling the curious and the weak
[B] Hillary give them what they want [E] to see
Hillary give them what they want to see
[A] Oh we are living [E] in the future
[A] I'll tell you how [E] I know
[A] I read it [E] in the paper
_ [B] Fifteen [E] years ago
[A] We're all driving a rocket [A] ship
And talking [E] with our minds
[A] And wearing [E] turquoise jewelry
[B] And standing [E] at the soup line
We're [B] standing at the soup line
We're [B] standing at the soup [E] line
