What's Next? Lyrics

Back in the day they painted skies so blue

Promised flying cars and cities brand new

We dreamed of robots every home a space-age scene

But here we are lost somewhere in between

In the '50s they preached a bright wholesome life

Nuclear family man and his wife

Values carved in stone promises so grand

But here we are trying to understand

What's next, promises slip through our hands?

What's next now that tech is king?

Cell phones in pockets computers sing

AI tech is ready to guide our fate

But is this the world we thought we'd create?

What's next, will we break or elevate?

They thought the future would free us all

Yet we're bound to screens feeling small

Somewhere between progress and the cost

Is the dream alive or is it lost?

What's next, with the lines we've crossed?

What's next now that tech is king?

Cell phones in pockets computers sing

AI tech is ready to guide our fate

But is this the world we thought we'd create?

What's next, will we break or elevate?

Flying cars and unity never came

Now we're chasing profits and shifting blame

AI on the rise and futures sold

But will we trade our hearts for digital gold?

What's next, will we grow bold?

Look back on dreams that led us here

What would they say if the future was near?

In a world of screens do we still hold the key?

Or is humanity just a memory?

What's next, for you and me?

What's next, now that tech is king?

Cell phones in pockets computers sing

AI tech is ready to guide our fate

But is this the world we thought we'd create?

What's next, will we break or elevate?
