I Shudder To Think

I had me this dream just the other night
and there I was in the future, and it was all big as life
and what I saw there; oh it was such a sight.
Some of the science fiction scared me to the brink;
and if some of it was to come true,
hey, I shudder to think.

It was all so futuristic; this place in my dream
the buildings and the cars, well, you wouldn’t believe;
but behind the facade, things were not what they seem
as people moved around quick as a wink
all with this sense of distrust,
whoa, I shudder to think.

The cities seemed to have some new magical charm
as more people moved out, off and away from the farm.
Values were changed causing even more harm
as divorces took to paper and ink,
and what that did to the institute of marriage,
ooh, I shudder to think.

As subtleties and politicians turned the truth into lies
morality seemed to falter right before their own eyes.
The family was weakened and dismantled down to size
as people were more concerned with their quality of life
And their older family members were all institutionalized
meanwhile their economy was going down the drink
and where that was all leading to;
whoa,… I shudder to think.

So I had me this dream and what I saw, I tell you,
it made me stop and think, what if it all did come true?
Last thing I saw was them trying to take God out of view
and I wondered, would they rise up to stop it or shrink,
Could this really happen to us?
Oh ho, I shudder to think.
