The Future is Late is musically inspired by the desert blues of Mali combined with space tech and downtempo electro, and it includes a psychedelic string chamber piece in the middle. The thinking behind the title is to stay in the present, act in the now..

Music by Peter Hackett, lyrics by Zach Silver

Light And Dark

It's the greatest show on earth
Full of pageantry and luxury 
And treachery and larceny 
And lots of oil and burning coal.

CHORUS
This thing you see's not meant to be
The lies we see. sad irony

It's the greatest scam to see
Filled with plutocrats and happenstance
A morphing plague
A pestilence decried as fake

CHORUS

See the demonstration of dubious fact
See the rioting meant to be a trap
Couldn't sell this plot for a TV show
But the news will tell us what we choose to know

Fake-o-rama psychodrama. cultivated super-trauma
Hyper spreading melodrama can't tell the truth from all the drama

The greatest show on earth

It's the trash heap of history
This shouldn't be a mystery
It's the greatest show on earth
Countries jostling for turf

CHORUS

The Last Days of the Flying Machine
