about

1 - 1000 Years - Evan Chase, Oscar Sharman, Will Stead, [Burnout 13]

A vision of the future and what looking back from there will reveal

lyrics

On a trip across the Milky Way I’m in the 31st century
Ice skating on Uranus and getting a tan on Mercury
Watching a black hole from my observatory dome
Set co-ordinates for Beetlejuice it’s time to head back home
While I sat in my rocket - I watched a documentary
The history of Planet Earth and how we used to be
Corruption in the government - CO2 in the sky
Obesity and poverty were the norms far back in time

Sucked into a world while trapped in 2017
Trapped in the dark ages of reality TV
A hole in space in space-time was missed by my quantum computer
My family now live 1000 years in the future

I was robbed of my life in the golden age of man
Now I work at a chippy scrubbing plates in a dishpan
At night I dream of Andromeda and my home in deep space
In the day I try to fix my rocket so I can ditch this place

Eight years of building and I’ve made something I can fly
This is a primitive planet I can’t wait to say goodbye
But as I took off back to my reality
NASA shot me down and gave me psychotherapy

Sucked into a world while trapped in 2017
Trapped in the dark ages of reality TV
A hole in space in space-time was missed by my quantum computer
My family now live 1000 years in the future
1000 years in the future…
