I saw the future, it was dirty But I told you it's clean I had a vision we could change it With a twist to the human machine With blood and water, wood and fire I perfect the scene Joy electric, live forever Now this completes the measure of my scheme Take it back forward (4x's) I see utopia where skeptics see A tick of the clock Your chains will keep you far from freedom Unless you rise above the streets that you walk Get past the lies that paint the skies Until you're left with just rock Begin the change already done Convection won't wait for the current to stop Take it back forward (4x's) Let's take back what we've fought so hard to create We won't be remembered for waiting There's no turning back when your fist hits the air Cause tomorrow begins starting now Chorus
