Future Tense

April Wine

Each moment's just a reflex


Response is just a motion


The pressure never ends baby


I hope it don't drive me crazy


I don't wanna be a poor boy


It don't help to say gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme


I ain't foolin' myself now


All I know is what I feel





I know I don't like it


You can't disagree


Come on, say it'll be alright


I say yeah, yeah, yeah





Future tense, gone too far


Future tense, a world apart


Future tense, more than a feeling in my heart


Oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)


Oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)





I feel a little unbalanced


Between the pros and the con men


I try for satisfaction


You always let it slide


Every day is like the last day


Whatever happened to 50, 50, 50, 50


I don't have a solution


All I know is what I feel baby





I heard about the good life


I'd like to give it a try


They say it's gonna be alright


I say yeah, yeah, yeah





Future tense, is what I feel


Future tense, is what I see


Future tense, as much for you as it is for me


Oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)


Oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)





If you don't like somebody


Say "leave me alone"


It's just like a bad time


You have to make good on your own





We're racing through time now


It's all hit and run


You say it's gonna be alright


I say yeah, yeah, yeah





Future tense, we've gone too far


Future tense, a world apart


Future tense, more than a feelin' in my heart


Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)


Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)


Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)


Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)


Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)


Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)


No (yeah), no (yeah), no (yeah), oh no
