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
How she hates to be alone
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
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

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.

    What the fuck is echo? I'm here for nostalgia.

    H.... ....

    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)

  68. A.... ....

    I love how they TRY to ATTEMPT

  69. M.... V....

    Come check out my Synthesia Piano covers of MCS songs and others at my channel! ^^

  70. b.... b....

    I came here just to hear the part where he says "ah fuck it" & they cut it out

  71. B.... G....

    Who's here because this is a great song that still needs to be listened to here and there years later?

    B.... G....

    Basically.

    B.... G....

    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

    B.... G....

    2019 Checking in

    B.... G....

    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

  72. S.... ....

    I miss these guys :C Wouldn't have made it through my teen years without them.

  73. h.... ....

    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

  74. a.... ....

    With trump as president, this is more relevant than ever

    a.... ....

    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.

    a.... ....

    Den V. 🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸 Respect

    a.... ....

    Den V. #MAGA

    a.... ....

    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.

    a.... ....

    Who ever put a political comment in this section I'll find you

  75. a.... o....

    I didn't know Gideon Graves had a rock band!

  76. S.... G....

  86. T.... E....

    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😬

    K.... B....

    this song reminds me of my high school days lol

  88. M.... ....

    My favorite accident is stumbling across this song after her words destroyed my planet.
    I cant even believe this is for real!

    M.... ....

    now you just sound like cleverbot lol

    M.... ....

    I half expected this comment to be from 2009 tbh

  89. b.... ....

    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

  90. A.... A....

    The music is very generic.

  91. M.... ....

    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

    M.... ....

    +Griffinnn89 papi is this really you?

    M.... ....

    Yes son, it is I. Go forth and prosper sweet child.

    M.... ....

    XD im ded

    M.... ....

    Griffinnn89 (;

    M.... ....

    This is the most wholesome YouTube comment thread I've ever seen

  92. G.... M....

    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 😂

    G.... M....

    i thought it was " bet it won't szuyhvn messing the xgifjmovp'n funk she hits the beat oh no".........

  93. D.... D....

    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!"

  94. M.... S....

    Going to see their very last show of all time at Riot Fest in Chicago this Septmenber! Sucks my balls!

  95. G.... ....

    I just saw them this week at Bogarts, and this song and concert were beautiful

    G.... ....

    Haha me too.

    G.... ....

    +Ashlee Cook do you remember what song he started with? I remember what he played but not the order

    G.... ....

    Yeah I think it was Back To The Beat

    G.... ....

    Ooooh okay. Thanks!

  96. G.... ....

    I just saw them this week at Bogarts, and this song and concert were beautiful

    G.... ....

    Peyton Pey-Pey the lead singer sorta looks like rick

  97. N.... A....

    This is they're last tour......fuck im old.....still love them though, they sing to my life.

  98. q.... q....
