100 Years from Now - Theo Katzman

100 years from now no one will care about

Anything you ever did, anything you ever said

And if by chance they do, you were probably a jerk

Or likely even worse, kept people down by force

But perhaps you were a saint, that’s an honorable thing

Gave your life to help the poor, fought injustices and wars

Either way, you get the point, we don’t have much time to waste, just

Find yourself a horse, and ride it till it breaks

All anyone will say is

«Wait, what was their name?»

But don’t worry, it’s okay

Actually, it’s great, 'cause

No one’s keeping score, so

So just get over

You-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, get over you, get over you

100 years from now you’ll be floating through the air

While the cocaine that you did decomposes in your hair

If you’re listening to this song then 100 years from now

You’ll probably be dead unless you’ve figured out

How to change the serpentine belt, replace all your stem cells

Seven daily health tips, ketosis or kale chips

So what’s it all about?

Can’t we figure this shit out?

Do we really have to fight if we all still have to die?

All anyone will say is

«Wait, what was their name?»

But don’t worry, it’s okay

Actually, it’s great, 'cause

No one’s keeping score, so

So just get over

You-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, get over you, get over you

A couple years ago my friend took a vacation

Thirty days of silence, tried to meditate some-

Where in Southeast Asia, I think it was Thailand

Either way, he showed me pictures from his camera, and

Written on the wall of the temple where he sat

It said «cut yourself some slack» and then this basic fact, it

Made me laugh out loud, so deep but yet so simple

It said «100 years from now, remember: all new people»

So just get over

You-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, get over you, get over

You-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, get over you, get over

You-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, get over you, get o-
