Motion City Soundtrack - The Future Freaks Me Out Lyrics
I’m on fire and now I think I’m ready to bust a move
Check it out I’m rocking steady
Go!
Betty won’t stop listening to modern rock
I try to compensate her lack of love with coffee cake
Ice cream and a bottle of ten dollar wine she says hey
I rock the Haro sport
I rock the cow girl blues
I rock too fast for love I’m footloose in my Velcro shoes
What’s up with Will and Grace?
I don’t get drum and bass
The future freaks me out
I’m on fire and now I think I'm ready to bust a move
To the beat in my head
It goes oh, oh-oh-oh
I know that she’s the only one
I’d rather waste our time together
Yeah, ‘cause we can get down
Betty can’t quit carving question marks in my wrist
How come we’re so alone
We waste away the days with nicotine and television samples
From an era we hate to admit we embrace
We fail to represent
We fail to be content
We fail at everything we ever even try to attempt
And so the story goes
As only Betty knows
It’s time to take control
(Get Down)
I’m on fire and now I think I'm ready to bust a move
Check it out I’m rocking steady
To the beat in my head
It goes oh, oh-oh-oh
I know that she’s the only one
I’d rather waste my time with her
Betty, I need you
I miss you
I’m so alone without you
To call up on the weekends with my cellular phone
Betty it’s so hard to relate
To the whole human race
I don’t know where to begin
I don’t know where to begin
If we can both find a way
To do the things that we say
We might not sit in our rooms
And drink our daydreams away
Betty, I’m a dreamer
I’m not a vicious schemer
Oh Betty won’t you.. ah fuck it
I’m on fire and now I think I'm ready to bust a move
Check it out I’m rocking steady
To the beat in my head
It goes oh, oh-oh-oh
I know that she’s the only one
I’d rather waste our time together
Yeah, ‘cause we can get down.

Lyrics anyone??
Pre-gaming in 2019 for the reunion tour!
JJ Surma I saw them in Chicago in New Years. It was amazing
hell yeah
December 30th 2019... This song couldn't be more relevant
On this episode of youtube recommendations. Youtube takes me back to high school
it supersizes me that this isn't as popular. Doesn't matter, best song.
Still obsessed.
my teacher found out I was a fan of MCS and got this song stuck in my head because it's their favorite. X)
i found this song on spotify like a year or two ago and it randomly came across my head and im glad it did i still love it 💕
Yeah let's stay here for a while...
Hell yea
I remember seeing them in warped tour when they first signed with epitaph it was a great set
This album was playing on the radio all of the night I was born. My dad listened to it when he and my mom where at the hospital, and now it is requested that I play it on my birthday at least once!
underrated
Idk what this song is about but like honestly I'm feeling it
It feels like what he's talking about is relatable but I also don't even know what he means
I wish they still made music they are still to this day #2 only to Coheed and Cambria....concept is everything but singing also still own every album for both bands and one is still on......miss MCS for sure
It's funny cause I found this on likewise when I was younger by accident and just kept listening
Does anyone know what Punk O Rama dvd this video was on?
@yeet thank you! My brother remembered it from our childhood and wants it for his birthday so you really helped me out!
THIS SONG GETS ME SO HYPE! I'll dance to this over EDM any day.
I wonder what Betty thinks about life in 2019. Does day to day life these days still freak her out as much she thought they would?
This man made me okay with the fact I had to wear nerd glasses in middle school thank you JP
This song is 15 years old and it's still better than most music today! Man, I was in my first year of college when this came out!
Damn that vocalis it's Nerdy Wayne Static
I’m sad as fuck rn... and this song is keeping it together.
Aha.. RIP @ my youth.
Woah Johnny Galecki look like the the singer or does the singer look like Johnny Galecki
2019 anyone!!! :)
what's going on with the kick drum
Finn McKenty sent me here
Who is here in 2019?
And are you watching on your cellular phone?
no one cares what year it is.
thanks echo lol
2003. That’s when I heard this first. Weird to think now that I saw them play with rufio back then
How classic is this song?
At the western part
Me: You know that that is?
My brain: Yea horse shi-
Me: Authenticity
Coolest hair ever
Dirty 30s
Still a solid jam! Teenage playlists❤❤❤
First time listening, kinda reminds me of weezer

3:02 I SWEAR THATS JON FRATELLI

Justin looks amazing
What the fuck is echo? I'm here from having flashbacks to the 2000s.
Am I the only one who thinks the singer sounds like Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls?
These guys were so good at making a second round to their songs.
It should freak you out the Pauls happen.....
Ugh
WHO IS NOT HERE FROM ECHO
Probably quite a lot of ppl
Such a Classic!
How could this song not be a HUGE hit?
copelarry it was when I was in high school 10 years ago or so 👍🏿😂
3:19 when your phone says you’re turning the volume up too high
Why is this video so scuffed sounding? Skipping?
Nick Gurr the fuck in aw fuck it is censored
Who the heck is this echo person? I got here bc of my aunt.
Echo Gillette is a YouTuber who linked this song in one of their videos
This comment section is full of Echo
What the fuck is echo? I'm here for nostalgia.
HopOnTheHype A YouTuber that mentioned this song in a video and linked it so some people are here because they watched her video (including me)
I love how they TRY to ATTEMPT
Come check out my Synthesia Piano covers of MCS songs and others at my channel! ^^
I came here just to hear the part where he says "ah fuck it" & they cut it out
Who's here because this is a great song that still needs to be listened to here and there years later?
Basically.
Still not the same as playing in my CD player on my way too school skipping each time we go over a speed bump... lol member berries
2019 Checking in
Definitely. Hearing it all these years after it came out makes me wonder if the future is as bad as Betty was afraid it might be
I miss these guys :C Wouldn't have made it through my teen years without them.
all this talk about echo... am I the only one that hears this song when they hear the name Betty ? fuck I'm old lol
With trump as president, this is more relevant than ever
Why? Trump can't be worst than Obama. Obama gave weapons to our enemies, restricted our military, gave Uranium to the Russians, fucked up our Economy and Healthcare, and approved illegal immigration with DACA.
Trump:
(1) Lowered our taxes, more money in our pockets
(2) Slashed business regulations/taxes, business are coming back into American and investing.
(3) Stock Market hit records high, our Economy is stronger than ever, Unemployment is at an all time low,
(4) Gave the military raises, and changed the rules of Engagement now we've nearly wiped out ISIS.
CNN will not report that. Be smart. Don't believe all the fake news.
Den V. 🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸 Respect
Den V. #MAGA
Den V. It’s actually been suggested that the economic uptick began at the end of Obama’s presidency, and that Trumpian economic policy will be a return to boom and bust. Following Trump’s tax cuts the federal deficit spiked, and studies have shown they chiefly benefited the white and wealthy. His administration has boasted of a huge increase in foreign arms sales, including to regimes like Saudi Arabia, to commit genocide in Yemen.
This is to say nothing of his belief that climate change is a hoax, the allegations of fraud, tax evasion and sexual misconduct, and his openly courting the far right.
Who ever put a political comment in this section I'll find you
I didn't know Gideon Graves had a rock band!
Def a good song to blaze to 😤
still listening in 2017?
2018 bro
adam levine before maroon 5
Who is here because of Echo Gillette?
Echo why
echo Gillette!💕
uta's bae yep,
shit guys i think my myspace got hacked. you can talk to me on gaiaonline until I set my new account up
Wurm I still use Gaia once and a while😅 but it's definitely a throwback
Tbh I always liked neopets better.
lmao used to dl this stuff on limewire/frostwire until it was taken over by viruses
this song is so great when your left headphone is broken
I'm glad I saw this comment. I was starting to freak out!
lol I had some confusion
Yoo my left one is about to blow. Twins!
my right earphone is broken, what am i missing?
@jebril oh fuck you! Now its all i can hear. You monster! I hear it right now.
These lyrics pop in to my head randomly all the time. I'M ON FIRE!
crashthestash WE FAILED AT EVERYTHING WE EVER EVEN TRIED TO ATTEMPT
crashthestash AND NOW I THINK IM READY TO *BUST* A MOVE
Several times a day this happens to me
thought "why not listen to some mcs? they are your favorite band, after all."
So much nostalgia.
Idk why but this song seems like it has the perfect tune for a scene in the new spiderman where Peter would be in high school. Hope I worded that right😬
this song reminds me of my high school days lol
My favorite accident is stumbling across this song after her words destroyed my planet.
I cant even believe this is for real!
now you just sound like cleverbot lol
I half expected this comment to be from 2009 tbh
I have been in love with these guys since 2005 and I am so excited and so sad at the same time to see them tonight for the last time
The music is very generic.
Some guy played this on a Garry's mod server using a jukebox plugin, and now I'm addicted. Bless up to you if you're reading this. Ily bb
+Griffinnn89 papi is this really you?
Yes son, it is I. Go forth and prosper sweet child.
XD im ded
Griffinnn89 (;
This is the most wholesome YouTube comment thread I've ever seen
For like years I thought the lyrics in the first verse were "bet he won't stop listening to modern rock oh, she hates the beat alone" but apparently it's "Betty won't stop listening to modern rock oh, she hates to be alone" ohmygod I'm so stupid 😂
i thought it was " bet it won't szuyhvn messing the xgifjmovp'n funk she hits the beat oh no".........
I remember seeing them on the Honda Civic tour. So embarrassing (not really) that the twentysomething in me still relates to the twelve-year old me's fave line, "Betty, it's so hard to relate, to the whole human race! I don't know where to begin, I don't know where to begin... If we could both find a way to-- Aww, fuck it!"
Going to see their very last show of all time at Riot Fest in Chicago this Septmenber! Sucks my balls!
I just saw them this week at Bogarts, and this song and concert were beautiful
Haha me too.
+Ashlee Cook do you remember what song he started with? I remember what he played but not the order
Yeah I think it was Back To The Beat
Ooooh okay. Thanks!
I just saw them this week at Bogarts, and this song and concert were beautiful
Peyton Pey-Pey the lead singer sorta looks like rick
This is they're last tour......fuck im old.....still love them though, they sing to my life.
meeee😄😅😆😊😀😁
You... what?
