You better get out of the line of fire
If you wanna stay alive
I always knew it would take a liar
In this brave new world to survive

(chorus x3)
It's gonna happen in the future
It didn't happen in the past

Rule and divide and control the seven seas
Your power and pride guarantee defeat
So fine, your lips on mine light a dangerous flame
When love grows in exile It'll find you back again

Well they shot you down on the steps of a white house
Climbin' out to rescue me
They said you made a giant step for mankind
And the plate's still empty "c'est la vie"

(chorus x3)
It's gonna happen in the future
It didn't happen in the past

That's right

Rule and divide and control the seven seas
Your power and pride guarantee defeat
So fine, your lips on mine light a dangerous flame
When love grows in exile It'll find you back again

I'm gonna find you back
Gonna find you back again
When I'm gonna find you
Gonna find you back again

Hap hap happen in the future
It's gonna hap hap
It's gonna hap hap happen in the future
It's gonna hap hap
It's gonna hap hap happen in the future
It's gonna hap hap happen now
It's gonna hap hap happen in the future
It's gonna hap hap happen now
