[Verse 1] Checked the time on my VHS Tried to swipe right on a Polaroid Told the kids I “surf the web” Then asked them where they keep the void Plugged headphones in my calculator Waiting for the beat to drop Asked the fridge for the weather Later It just hummed and told me “stop” [Chorus] I’m retro future Wrong timeline Still buffering in my own mind Got chrome on a flip phone Glitching in the offline I’m retro future Wrong timeline My style stuck on rewind Too old for the algorithm Too weird to fall in line [Verse 2] Typed a text on a TV remote Wondered why it wouldn’t send Printed memes out in full color Mailed them to my only friend (first class) Tried to stream on a microwave Pressed “popcorn” for the live event Asked a bot how to be cool It replied “that ship was never sent” (rude) [Chorus] [Bridge] [spoken Deadpan] Is “hashtag” still two words Or did I miss the merge Do I need a password Just to say what I overheard [low vocal register] Take my pager to the party Wear my visor like a crown If the future wants to log me out I’ll just power cycle this town [Chorus]
