Song lyrics

Send "Futures" ringtones to your cell

I always believed in futures 
I hope for better 
In November 
Try the same losing lucky numbers 
It could be a cold night... 
For a lifetime 
Hey now, 
You can't keep saying endlessly: 
My darling, 
How long until this affects me? 

Say hello to good times 
Trade up for the fast ride 
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets 
Completely 

I always could count on futures; 
That things would look up 
And they look up 
Why? 
So hard to find balance 
Between living decent... 
And the cold and real 
Hey now, 
What is it you think you see? 
My darling, 
Now's the time to disagree 

Say hello to good times 
Trade up for the fast ride 
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets 
Completely 

Hey now, 
The past is told by those who win 
My darling, 
What matters is what hasn't been 
Hey now, 
We're wide-awake and we're thinking 
My darling, 
Believe your voice can mean something 

Say hello to good times 
Trade up for the fast ride 
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets 
Completely 
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets 

Completely...

6 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Futures is definitely a great opening song for this album. The first time I listened to it, and heard the following phrases: "I hope for better in November." "Believe your votes can mean something." I knew that they were referring to the current presidency, and were hoping for better. The beat is good, the lyrics are nice. This is one of my current favorite songs.

384 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal musicians should leave political things out of their music. i find it ridiculous that famous people try to get people to vote like them, leave politics to the politicians

6 posts	There's nothing wrong with getting political in music. Yeah, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but, sometimes, it's good to talk political in music. If World War III were ever to happen, do you think that nobody would write songs about the war? You would get so many more songs based on the war than any other kind of song. It is kind of unusual for Jimmy Eat World to get political, but, sometimes, like I said, there's nothing wrong with it.

12 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal hey mr bluntz how old are you, most likely you are younger than 18 which means you cannot vote, dont you think that people when they get older get involved with voting and the political process, they can also get emotionally involved with it, you say its a sad day for emo, emotional music can deal with anything even politics, so why dont you just grow up and appreciate all the things you dont have yet, btw this song is pretty awesome, not the best on the CD but it still rocks

98 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Ya know, Jimmy Eat World can really do no wrong, and this song proves that. Songs are great ways to make statements and post oppinions, and JEW did it completey well. GREAT SONG. I admit though, not one of their best, but nonetheless, a great and imprssive way to open the albulm. love it!

118 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Futures, I like. And yeah, why do some people get so uptight about politics in songs? Get over it. Bands and singers can sing about whatever they damn please. As long as it sounds good, you guys have nothing to whine about. Jeez.
