Benjamin Booker The Future Is Slow Coming Lyrics

[Verse]
At the top of the hour
Today in the news
A little girl is shot down
While tying her shoes

[Chorus]
Honestly, how can I be proud right now?
To tell you the truth, I ain't been sleeping too well

[Verse]
Although our parents
Fought to be equal
The State decides true love
If they only knew it

[Chorus]
Honestly, how can I be proud right now?
To tell you the truth, I ain't been sleeping too well

[Verse]
Today he gets five stars
For learning to read
Too bad he's not from here
He better learn to weed

[Bridge]
Even though computers are taking up my time;
Even though there's satellites roaming in space;
Even though my phone predicts the weather;
We still can't help you
Even though computers are taking up my time;
Even though there's satellites roaming in space;
Even though my phone predicts the weather;
We still can't help you

[Outro]
The future is slow coming, honey
The future is slow, slow coming
The future is slow coming up
The future is slow, slow coming
