英文歌曲 摇滚:The Offspring - The Future Is Now

80年代初的南加州，还在学校念书的 Bryan Holland 和 Greg Kriesel 经常去 Orange 郡的环球俱乐部观看摇滚表演，终于有一天他们决定成立一支名为 Manic Subsidal 的乐队，当时乐队另外两名成员是主音吉它手 Doug Thompson 和鼓手 Jalme Lilja 。


歌词：

Song：The Future Is Now
Artist：The Offspring

This city's made of diamon

ds
And tomorrow glass will grow
On the freedoms that divide us
They're coming after me
Flashback 1984
Now who's knock-knocking at your door?
A thought that starts a riot
They're coming after me now
Life is not the same
I am one but
Sparks turn into flames
Will you take what's in my head?
And erase¹ me when I'm dead?
Cause the future is now
And now I'm disappearing
The day has turned to night
Can you save me from the light?
Cause the future is here
And this is how I disappear
Running down a spiral
With the light of better men
Shouting progress is survival
Take one last look and see me
Now you see me, now you don't
No vow² to break
No string of hope
My hero, your pariah³
They're coming after me now
Life is just god's game
I am one but
Sparks turn into flames
And you get what you deserve
When revenge is what you serve
Cause the future is now
And now I'm disappearing
I'll sink into the night
And I'm turning off the lights
Cause the future is here
And this is how I disappear
So the end's what you make it
And that's what you're looking for
This is the future
The future is now
Disappear
Disappear
I disappear
Disappear
Now turn off the lights
The skies are blue inside you
Turn off the lights
They'll get inside of you
Will you take what's in my head
And erase me when I'm dead?
'Cause the future is now,
Now I'm disappearing
The day has turned to night,
Can you save me from the light?
'Cause the future is here,
This is how I disappear
Disappear, disappear,
Disappear
