[Dbm] [Gb] [Abm]
[C]
We [Dbm] got to stop all gaming
From dancing all the night
When won't we understand
This is a lesson [Eb] on the chain
Everybody [Abm] is a future [Db] shock
[Abm] I'm not a [Db] [Abm]
future shock
Hey little sister, where's your brother?
See your mother standing on the soup line
I'm just a father, ain't got the strength to be bothered
Oh, my, well, here we go
What's that on?
You're weighing him down
[Dbm] We got to stop all gaming
From dancing all the night
When won't we understand
This [E] is a lesson [Eb] on the chain
Everybody [Abm] is a future shock
Future shock, future shock
[Db] [Abm] Future shock, [Dbm] [Abm] future shock
[Em]
[Abm] I'm wearing flakers, playing on makers
Watch them dancing, see how they dance into the superflow
Oh, baby, come when you don't know where you're coming from
Dancing in our youth, that's for sure
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We [Dbm] got to stop all gaming
From dancing all the night
When won't we understand
This is a [E] lesson [Eb] on the chain
Everybody [E] is a future [Gb] [Abm] shock
Future shock, future shock
Hey little sister, where's your mister?
He can't come, trying to be home
It's alright
What's going on?
You seem always alone
Girl, that is where man is in jail
We [Dbm] got to stop all gaming
[Gb] [Dbm] From dancing all the night
When won't we understand
This is [E] a lesson [Eb] on the chain
Everybody [Abm] is a future shock
Future shock, future shock
Future shock, [Db] [Abm]
future shock
The price of the beat
Higher than the dome in the street
Isn't it a wonder
For those with nothing to eat
Some's got a face
But [Gbm] [Abm] still seem so afraid
There's no love for his brother
No plans for another
Future shock, that's what's going on
Future shock, everyone's alone
Future shock, no more people
Future shock, play by the [Db] street
[Abm] Future shock, future shock
