[Verse 1]
A letter come blowing in
On an ill wind
Something about me and you
Never seeing one another again
And what I knew had come
Stars struck deaf and dumb
Like when we kissed
That taste of blood on your tongue

[Chorus]
Don't worry, darling
No baby, don't you fret
We're living in the future
And none of this has happened yet
Don't worry, darling
No baby, don't you fret
We're living in the future
And none of this has happened yet

[Verse 2]
Woke up election day
Sky's gunpowder and shades of grey
Beneath the dirty sun
I whistle my time away
Then just about sundown
You come walking through town
Your boot heels clicking like
The barrel of a pistol spinning round

[Chorus]
Don't worry, darling
No baby, don't you fret
We're living in the future
And none of this has happened yet
Don't worry, darling
No baby, don't you fret
We're living in the future
And none of this has happened yet

[Verse 3]
The earth, it gave away
The sea rose towards the sun
I opened up my heart to you
It got all damaged and undone
My ship Liberty sailed away
On a bloody red horizon
The groundskeeper opened the gates
And let the wild dogs run

[Verse 4]
Alone I limp through town
A lost cowboy at sundown
Got my monkey on a leash
Got my ear tuned to the ground
My faith's been torn asunder
Tell me is that rolling thunder
Or just the sinking sound
Of something righteous going under

[Chorus]
Don't worry, darling
No baby, don't you fret
We're living in the future
And none of this has happened yet
Don't worry, darling
No baby, don't you fret
We're living in the future
And none of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
