Future Baby Lament

I am a Future Baby
Young and wild and queer
If I am a Future Baby
What am I doing here?
I lost my spaceship on Jupiter
Or maybe it was Saturn
I lost all my hope for the future
I just sat and watched it burn
Once I had a true love
He was so young and pretty
But I lost him somewhere along the way
Between the moon and Iowa City
I've been working all day
For 7.25 an hour
They need me more than I need them
But they think they have all of the power
I don't think I belong here
I belong in a different age
I belong in a time
With a higher minimum wage
I wish I had a spaceship
Or some sort of time machine
I wish I had some money
For the boy of my dreams
But I got a little whiskey
And I got a little pot
And I'll invite my friends over and sing them some songs
Whether they want me to or not
I'm looking for a signal
I'm not looking for a sign
I'm just looking for my moon queen
I already know that she's mine
But I can't seem to get a connection
I can't get her on the line
So I guess I'll just hold her in my dreams
Or learn how to turn back time
We are the Future Babies
Young and wild and queer
We are the Future Babies
And we're so glad to be here

So Glad

I'm so glad you came over tonight
I'm so glad I'm not crippled with fear
I'm so glad I'm not terrified
It feels so good to be queer
I'm so glad you don't care about looks
I'm so glad you think I'm good enough
I'm so glad you keep talking bout that Kerouac book
It feels so good to fuck
I'm so glad you don't get along with your dad
I'm so glad your girlfriend lets you sleep with dudes
Thank god I'm too drunk to be sad
It feels so good to be used
I'm so glad I'm not freaking out
I'm so glad you said you'd call, or at least that you might
I'm so glad I'm not crippled with doubt
Everything feels good tonight

Red Hot Love

Red hot love
Red hot love
Red hot love
Some people said when the lava came down
We were lucky that it missed our town
But I still have to go to class
I still had to sweep up all the ash
I knew a girl who was easy to love
When the ash would fall from above
She was cute and I thought she was rad
She had a fancy lawyer for a dad
Tracy's gas mask cost a hundred dollars
My mom made mine from a coffee filter
I wanted to sit next to her on the bus
But I was too embarrassed

God Hates You
05:16

I used to read the bible when I was child
But now I love the devil and it's lasted me awhile
Cause the devil don't care who you kiss
One time I met a real nice boy
He was real cute and brought me joy
But I couldn't help but tell myself this
God hates you
God hates you
God hates you in every single way
God hates you
God hates you
God hates you because you are gay
My brother didn't care for church nor jesus
He stole money from the basket and brought me reese's
And I thought that was really cool
He didn't know that I was gay
So I was wondering what he would say
When he saw me kissing that boy from school
Would he say
God hates you
I thought me a little and I thought me a lot
It takes an evil man to love an evil god
So what's the point anyways?
So when my brother saw me and that boy kiss
That's when he told me this
There's plenty more reasons to hate god than being gay
God hates the gays
In every way
God hates the gays like me

Raygun

If I had a spaceship
I'd blast off from this town
If I had a raygun
I'd blast all you fuckers down
Listen up to what I say
Every fucking word
Because as of now I run this town
I don't know if you've heard
You kept saying "good enough"
And we kept screaming "more"
Call us future babies
Cause we're about to be reborn
My grandparents were farmers
My parents sell insurance
I get paid a bullshit wage
And it's testing my endurance
We're the future babies
I might have mentioned that before
And it looks like revolution
Costs more than we can afford
Fuck every single one of you
Who said I couldn't sing
I was looking for true love
Found out there's no such thing
The future's like the present
Except it's so much worse
It starts out in a sports car
And ends up in a hearse
I called upon my savior
He put my call on hold
I tried to find religion
They said "too gay, too old"
I don't know about true love
But baby you make my heart burst
Money is cheap magick
And you're the fucking worst

Future Baby Theme

Future Babies better than your kids band
Future Babies better than your sons band
Future Babies better than present babies
I was alone
And it broke my heart
I wished I could sing
Or maybe make art
So I makes me some art
And I makes me some songs
And I makes me a future
Where I can belong
