Please, we need you to hope again
[Verse 1: Adam WarRock]
Listen all mutants, class is in session
Here stands the man who true power came to beckon
When the time stream is messed with
A path can catch up quickly
I need all my kind to stand with me
Don't think twice about what happened to
Pretty soon you find the pattern
That's decoded inside of your atom
Maybe find the battle there within
Knowing your next of kin
Fought gone, come back to the beginning
Every strand of your dna, ex gene and ex lovers
Dead brothers thought they'd never recover
In another alternate place and time far beyond the scope
Never stood tall so we saw him lose hope, yo
That's when we turned to the youth and see (yeah)
This is what the world can do to you and me (yo)
But it never did to you
So take your history toss it out in the trash
And the future, we'll see
[Chorus]
Yo, these are the days of our future past
Far beyond what you do in class
Sooner or later
It all catches up to you
Every choice that you make so think about that
[Verse 2]
Whether young or old, with an x on his visor
Played the schism at the phoenix force and filled him with fire
A white queen who wears black now
A dark child who's seen hell
A former nemesis who lost his power, oh well
And a man without a past who can't die
So he focused on carrying on the dream
That he saw collapse
With professors who speak to the scared little kids
That know of the deserved retribution for what they did
And five kids from out of time unaware in their mind
That one day they can see their mentors' dream die
Shield's steady producing all of her traps designed
Just in case those mutants get out of line
It's uncanny, astonishing
It's amazing, it's all new in the sunshine
When it's blazing
This one's for all that ever died for the cause
And keep hope alive even though it's so dark
[Chorus]
Yo, these are the days of our future past
Far beyond what you do in class
Sooner or later
It all catches up to you
Every choice that you make so think about that
[Verse 3]
What's a choice here and there?
What's a butterfly flapping his wings?
What's death when it's all meaningless?
'cause I've seen Sauron die
When he was that other guy
And now she's come back
So explain to me what the Phoenix is
And if I know death that happens
In the future, how do I live my life
Like it's supposed to have meaning?
What's a revolution without a leader's got something to say
Without something for me to believe in?
This is a battle started deep in our dna
That started deep within the nucleus here today
Call me mutie, call me gene trash
Call me a friend, call me avenger
Man I remember all that you used to say
So we bury our dead and keep the fight going
And we forge ahead
Though we're all knowing
The future's never decided
Never told in our past
X 3 all our gen's in first class
[Chorus]
Yo, these are the days of our future past
Far beyond what you do in class
Sooner or later
It all catches up to you
Every choice that you make so think about that
[Outro]
These are the days of our future past
These are the days of our future past
So just think about that
Please, we need you to hope again
