Lyrics

[Verse 1] Take a ride around your city Tell me, what do you see Empty houses, burnin' cars Naked bodies hangin' from the trees Don't say what you're thinkin' Just think before you say If you say the wrong thing The man is gonna come and take you away [Chorus] Oh You got a beautiful future A beautiful future Oh You got a beautiful future A beautiful future [Verse 2] You tell me, baby, it's good to be free Oh, can't you see you've never been free? You live by the sword, you die by the sword You're only free to buy the things you can't afford The flash car, the house in the country The sexy wife, the beautiful children Congratulations, you're livin' the dream Another dead heart at the control machine [Chorus] Oh You got a beautiful future A beautiful future Oh You got a beautiful future A beautiful future [Bridge] Are you headed for the gas chamber? You want a seat in the electric chair? We got a noose if you wanna hang around Or maybe a little torture to tousle up your hair You got a beautiful future [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Take a ride around your city Tell me, what do you see Pretty houses, expensive cars Golden apples hangin' from the trees [Chorus] Oh You got a beautiful future A beautiful future Oh You got a beautiful future A beautiful future [Outro] Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream Another dead heart at the control machine Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream Another dead heart at the control machine Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream Another dead heart at the control machine Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream Another dead heart at the control machine Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream Another dead heart at the control machine Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream Another dead heart at the control machine Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream Another dead heart at the control machine Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream Another dead heart at the control machine Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream Another dead heart at the control machine Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream Another dead heart at the control machine Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream Another dead heart at the control machine Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream Another dead heart at the control machine
