Artifact

I am the sun of the future

25 years from now, I think

Try recalling the Golden Age

When we heard these words for the first time

Please come back to the exact spot we're at

We're speaking right now

Never forget the Golden Age

Doncha hear that this song is forever

Never forget the Golden Age

Notice it didn't remain as remembered

Never forget the Golden Age

A quarter century from now

Never forget the Golden Age

It never used to make you sad

But now you lost what you never knew you had

This is an artifact of that

This is an artifact of that

If this is you, 25 years accrued

Disregard the following's for the old you

Who hasn't heard this before

"Son I gotta tell ya bout the future see

It's a living hell, it's not at all like the golden age

They're gonna kill your comforts with worries

Pertaining to your health, Pertaining to your future

Pertaining to ya mama"

Never forget the golden age

A man of wealth you saw yourself someday

Never forget the golden age - where is the soldier

He used to be so brave he left a martyr and

Came back a slave

Neither teachers nor dads

Could see the world that they brought ya to was bad

This is an artifact of that

This is an artifact, artifact of that

When the terrorists

Spread the plague through

Computer screens and we die

And they erase what was

Left of the west

Just a shopping mall

In 25 minutes I want

You to come back

And recall the first time

In 25 minutes

The world's gonna crack

It's all gonna crack!

Remember this tune made you laugh

But these days a laugh's merely artifact

Artifact of that

It never used to make you sad

But now you lost what you never knew you had

This is an artifact of that

This is an artifact of that
