In 20XX

(Pronounced, "In Twenty Ex-ty Ex")

In 20XX,
there will be no Jersey Shore
Tidal waves will swallow seagulls
And they all will squawk no more

In 20XX,
We will go to war with Spain
While we won't know why we started it
We'll say our rights remain

In 20XX,
It's illegal to have sex
Children are cloned from tissue
That's extracted from folks' necks.

In 20XX,
There's no politics or law
When all decisions are provided
By one mighty robot's maw

In 20XX,

Google will control all life

Cameras in every cranny

Watching husband, child and wife

In 20XX,

Humans will escape to Mars

But their journey will be thwarted

By a host of shooting stars

There's no doubt: in the future

All our problems will be double

But if I don't live till XX

It's someone else's trouble.
