Jason Boland & the Stragglers - Future lyrics

[Verse 1] When we finally reached the future it was the same as the past The point of time between the two was the part that didn't last It was coming for a long time, when it got here it was gone [Verse 2] They say that time is free, been payin' for nothin' all along They say time it runs like water, it was never gonna stay Been tryin' to dam up what was gone when the current flowed away Now we're drownin' in the past, instead of swimmin' in today [Verse 3] The future ain't what it used to be I heard the wisе men say So I went out and looked around, saw tomorrow was yеsterday It didn't matter that I existed it's the same either way
