This is not my house.
This is, however, a song for the Bring the Song Challenge. Number 7? I wrote it a while ago, but have never recorded it until now. Well, I tried last summer, but you know how that turned out ( youtube.com/watch?v=Em7Y0u3GQ5E ).
Verse: AmCGAm FGAmFG
Chorus: CGCG AmFG
The 20th century's almost through as I write this little song
I've been wondering what I should expect
Technology's come so far yet it's not what I imagined
It's not how television told me it would be
I have to admit I'm a little disappointed
So I just have to ask
Where is my house on Mars? Where is my silver leisure suit?
Where is my flying car? Where are my rocket boots?
Some say the world's going to end- computer error, act of god
I think it'll be okay, but even so
Should I start hoarding gold? Should I buy a rifle?
Should I save that can of peas for Jesus if he comes?
Or ask him?
Where is my house on Mars? Where is my silver leisure suit?
Where is my flying car? Where are my rocket boots?
Maybe I envisioned a future that was a bit too much like Star Trek
But by now shouldn't my floor know how to clean itself?
A Segway's great but where the hell do I get five thousand dollars?
All I have to say to that is, "what the hell?"
What the hell
Where is my house on Mars? Where is my silver leisure suit?
Where is my flying car? Where are my rocket boots?
Where is my food in pill form? Where is my lunar condo? Where is my robot butler? Where is my talking dog? Where is my instant oatmeal? Where's my remote control? Where is my HAL 9000? Where's my prosthetic forehead? Where is my soylent green? Where is my VR headset?
This is not my house.
