    Called into life comes a man knuckled down, broken in, but already working
    Slightly bemused by the new world he finds himself in
    Adapting his thoughts to environments strange and bizarre, he never thought to encounter,
    Running his fingers through things he once read of in books

    And all of it seems so unclear
    It's not the future he once held so dear
    But there's always tomorrow, always today
    There's always something in the way

    He grew up with Eagle — computers that plotted his courses to far distant planets
    But ended up in a grey office suite, with Excel
    Now he finds routes to the goals of his peers and the vast empty space of their pockets
    Crossing the vacuum that lies between sci-fi and hell

    And all of it just seems so drear
    It's not the future we once held so dear
    But there's always tomorrow, always today
    (The future never looks)
    There's always something in the way
    (Like It reads in the books)

    And is this the dream I had as a child?
    To see moons from whatever side...
    Exploring space with flashing lights
    To ride in the pod at Virgil's right
    To boldly go where no man went before
    To take chicks along just to settle the score
    I smile and press the key
    And see Uncle Microsoft smiling right back at me

    If I could take on those adventures
    Have I reached the point where I'd rather stay at home?
    And is the comfort of the slippers worth trading
    For an evening in the Federation Neutral Zone?

    It's half past nine on Tuesday morning
    And still nobody's landed yet on Mars
    But if I get my quota finished there might be time
    For a swift half in the bar

    What happened to me?
    Was it a turning that I took?
    What happened to the future?
    It's not as good as the book.

    They went to space in an old tin of beans haphazardly strapped to a firework,
    With less than a ZX81 to direct them back home...
    We sit here with Gigs (abytes) and just twiddle our thumbs, while personalising our desktops
    Raising the firewalls and hoping the heatshields can hold

    I watched Buzz Aldrin step out of the tin, to the Moon and start his adventure
    That seems to end here with a nice coloured "skin" for my phone
    I see those steps through a digital stream and a mass of hot burning plasma
    Neatly wrapped up on a 50 inch screen in my home

    And though the pictures aren't clear
    There's so much more there than I'm wanting here
    And there's always tomorrow, always today
    (The future never looks)
    There's always something in the way.
    (Like It reads in the books)
