  • If you're ready for love, if you're ready for love
    If you're ready for love, if you're ready for love
    If you're ready for love, if you're ready for love
    If you're ready for love

    Future, future, love, love, future
    Future, future, love, love, future
    Future, future, love, love, future
    Future, future, love, love, future

    The night is dark and full of terror
    The air is thick with helicopters
    People marching, cops are swarming
    The city's on fire and the sirens are screaming

    You and I, we have a chance
    We could leave this place and rewrite our romance
    Let's go dancing, not talk for a while
    The sky's so beautiful, the stars are wild

    Future, future, love, love, future
    Future, future, love, love, future

    There is no future that can't be designed
    With some imagination and a beautiful mind
    Did I disgrace myself, bring shame to the flock?
    I was sick with resentment, couldn't help myself

    The earth is shaking, wanna go home
    The clock is ticking, we'll go it alone
    The rest is history, a host of mistakes
    A strange turn of events, an unfortunate mess

    Future, future, love, love, future
    Future, future, love, love, future

    If you're ready for love
    If you're ready for love
    If you're ready for love
    If you're ready for love

    If you're ready for love, if you're ready for love
    If you're ready for love, if you're ready for love
    If you're ready for love, if you're ready for love
    If you're ready for love, if you're ready for love
    If you're ready for love

    Future, future, love, love, future
    Future, future, love, love, future
    Future, future, love, love, future
    Future, future, love, love, future
    Future, future, love, love, future
    Future, future, love, love, future Writer/s: Butch Vig, Duke Erikson, Shirley Manson, Steve Marker
