Burning Wicks - Where Is My Flying Car? Lyrics

Back in the early grades
We heard how it would be
About the future ahead
And all the things we'd see
New tech would blow our minds
Big bold flat screen TVs
Internet would be a king
And smart phones oh yes please
But when I think back then
There's one that meant the most
And it's never taken off
No man, not even close
A total letdown, you know?
So what about the flying cars?
We were told they were in the stars
Like success if we worked hard
A pool in our backyard
We would fly so high, so far
But I'm still here on the ground
With honking traffic all around
The future is now
Where is my flying car?
Yeah where is my flying car?
Where is my flying car?
Now I stand so amazed
At all that's come to be
But I do feel some dread
So much, so fast you see
We live to innovate
It's the new humanity
Technology's like a lock
We snapped shut with no key
And when I think back then
I feel a bit betrayed
Yeah when I wanna take off
And the dream has been delayed
A total letdown, you know?
Yeah what about the flying cars?
We were told they were in the stars
Like success if we worked hard
A pool in our backyard
We would fly so high, so far
But I'm still here on the ground
Honking traffic all around
The future is now
Where is my flying car?
Yeah where is my flying car?
Where is my flying car?
We were promised a flying car
