 JOHN PRINE - Living In The Future Lyrics

s12m101920d1621716.mm7o

s12m101920d1621716.mm7o

s12m101920d1621716.mm7o

s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Jehosaphat the mongrel cat
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Jumped off the roof today
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Some would say he fell but I could tell
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
He did himself away
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
His eyes weren't bright like they were the night
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
We played checkers on the train
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
God Bless his soul he was a tootsie roll
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
But he's a dead cat just the same
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o

s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Chorus:
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
We are living in the future
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
I'll tell you how I know
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
I read it in the paper
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Fifteen years ago
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
We're all driving rocket ships
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
And talking with our minds
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
And wearing turquoise jewelry
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
And standing in soup lines
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
We are standing in soup lines
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o

s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Jake the barber's lonely daughter
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Went down to her daddy's shop
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
She plugged herself to a barber pole
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
And took a little off the top
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Pressure on the left. Pressure on the right
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Pressure in the middle of the hole
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
I'm goin' to Maine on a forty foot crane
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
I'm gonna use it for a fishin' pole
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o

s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Repeat Chorus
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o

s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Old Sarah Brown sells tickets down
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
At the all night picture show
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Where they grind out sex
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
And they rate it with an X
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Just to make a young man's pants grow
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
No tops no bottoms just hands and feet
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Screaming the posters out on the street
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Strangling the curious and the weak
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
We give 'em what they want to see - O
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o

s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
Repeat Chorus
s12m101920d1621716.mm7o
