Prompt / Lyrics
My freshman year in high school in 1986 When I was into Falco and getting out of Styx I went to English 101 with essay in my hand A story bout some grand old ship In some foreign land I was proud about the words I chose The teacher gave me praise But the simplest words were spoken next and they live on to this day John Thompson was a nerdy child though he didn't seem quite bright He nervously addressed the class with words he strained to write Little did we know that day the four words he would speak would prophesize our future lives and what would come to be..... Computer are the future he said Computers are the future indeed They have superior computational skills than either you or me Computer are the future he said I've suspected it for some time they remember almost everything And keep us all in In line The kids they lightly chuckled As John's pale face grew red No one understood quite yet the depth of what he said The teacher....Mr Erickson said: "Well...that is interesting" Could you elaborate a bit Explain just what you mean? Computers are the future he said They think much faster than us Computers are the future he said They'll leave humans In the dust Now the chuckles turned to laughter And John hung his head low Who'd had known he'd prophesized so many years ago A world where computers Would learn to live and breathe That A.I. would replace us all provide everything we need Computers are the future he said I've suspected it for awhile Computers are the future he said They're in their infancy Just like a child.
