You better get out of the line of fire

If you wanna stay alive

I always knew it would take a liar

In this brave new world to survive



It's gonna happen in the future

It didn't happen in the past



Rule and divide and control the seven seas

Your power and pride guarantee defeat

So fine, your lips on mine light a dangerous flame

When love grows in exile, it'll find you back again



They shot you down on the steps of a white house

Climbin' out to rescue me

They said you made a giant step for mankind

And the plate's still empty, "c'est la vie"



It's gonna happen in the future

It didn't happen in the past
