'NOT THE FUTURE' -- Extended Lyric Video

Extended version of the song featured in the Empire Strikes Back Bad Lip Reading -- LYRICS BELOW!

LYRICS:
I think it’s about time that I walk away, walk away
So I turn around to walk away but then I look back
Sad lady make me turn and walk away again

Even though it looks like it’s the future
It’s really a long, long, time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
Please remember
Even though some things look so familiar
They’re not really on Earth
Yeah, it’s a galaxy far, far away
Alien DNA walking ‘round every day
And no one notices

Well, I messed up
Yeah, I made a mistake
I can’t sleep
Have to find your place soon
My tailor’s awesome
All the people looking
Rolling like I’m platinum
You know I’ve gone a long way to
change my mind about us since I seen you
But I’m talking at my robot as you mill about the city
And I’m on my way
Girl, there’s something that you need to know

Even though it looks like it’s the future
It’s really a long, long, time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
Just remember
Even though some things look so familiar
They’re not really on Earth
Yeah, it’s a galaxy far, far away
Alien DNA walking ‘round every day
And no one notices

Ahhhh, space station blown away
(It’s not the future)
Ahhhh, floating in the diaper tank
(It’s not the future)
Ahhhh, space leprechaun fade away
(It’s not the future)
Ahhhh, cyborg with no big boy words to say
(It’s not the future)

Get turnt
Get real turnt
Get turnt
Get, get real turnt

Well I’m a jaywalker
Got a lot of fresh damage, oh no
I can’t always be around to
Explore foreign love
Overflowing for your love
At night I’m sure that when we argue
makes me dream about those demon fishies
It’s not the way that it’s meant to be and
I bless your outfit
Mmmm, that’s a good choice
What is he saying? I don’t understand
Listen girl
I hope the heartbreak leaves me on the weekend

Even though it looks like it’s the future
It’s really a long, long, time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
Just remember
Even though some things look so familiar
They’re not really on Earth
Yeah, it’s a galaxy far, far away
Alien DNA walking ‘round every day

It’s a place where
Little furry creatures dance but they’re not teddy bears
They’re an alien equivalent
And they may rage in familiar trees
But it’s not the Redwoods you see
Alien trees on an alien moon, oh-oh
It’s something else indeed
Alien trees on an alien moon, oh-oh
Time to break it down
Break it down, down, down, down

Yeah, I was big in Japan
I was king of Ping Pong
Yeah I was bad at tuba
And I’m sure you’d like me to bounce
Master, I need one of these
Do they come in threes?
‘cause I need to squeeze them
Yeahhh
Yeah, I was big in Japan
I was king of Ping Pong
Yeah I was bad at tuba
And I’m sure you’d like me to bounce

Sometimes that moment when you wish you could run and hide
Is when you find you need a new hyperdrive
We all sometimes wish we could get away
And if you try
Then you gotta just make sure if you hide in a cave that it’s
Really not some giant space snake

Even though it looks like it’s the future
It’s really a long, long, time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
Just remember
Even though some things look so familiar
They’re not really on Earth
Yeah, it’s a galaxy far, far away
Alien DNA walking ‘round every day
And no one notices

Even though it looks like it’s the future
It’s really a long, long, time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
Just remember
Even though some things look so familiar
They’re not really on Earth
Yeah, it’s a galaxy far, far away
Alien DNA walking ‘round every day
And no one notices

Get turnt
Get real turnt
Get turnout
Get, get real turnt
It’s not the future
Get turnt
Get real turnt
Get turnt
Get, get real turnt
It’s not the future

Ben's musical lecture on the perils of love...

WATCH THE OTHERS!

[nandoma]

Chewy doing the “Ahhhh” gets me every time. Genius.

[dc]

"When there was Knights, and they got into fights, using sabers of light" something about that plucks the strings deep deep down inside my soul

[eightballprime]

This is unironically a great tribute song to Star Wars as a whole

[sablebranwen]

Okay, so obviously, this is a funny song. But can we just appreciate the fact that the chorus legitimately succeeds at capturing the essence of what makes Star Wars magical?

[mrsundaymovies]

I can't comprehend how you make these. Writing the music alone and then coupling that with lyrics that match the lip reading clips. Mind blowing.

[huckwalton]

Is it just me, or are these legitimately great songs...

[ryguy]

The C3PO bit has to be the best opening to any song ever. Seriously.

[austingritton]

Why am I getting emotional with this song like bro. This is an awesome tribute to the star wars saga

[wendyweiss]

These songs from Bad Lip Reading are better than anything on the radio at the moment.

[bigt]

"Sometimes a moment when you wish you can run and hide is when you find out that you need a new hyperdrive"

The delivery of this line alone makes it sound so profound and deep

[Magwahthen]

BRO CHEWBACCA SINGING THAT FIRST NOTE HAD ME DEAD

[abef]

The additional backing vocals that come in and bring it all home at around 4:44 are, without a doubt, my favorite moment. It's so moving to me that sometimes—I admit—I actually get choked up in that part!

[AJGamerisabot]

"Space leprechaun fade away" Is one of the greatest things I have ever heard

[engvidAlex]

Yeah, I was big in Japan. I was king of ping-pong. I was bad at tuba.

I feel that, Luke. I feel that.

[eugenegrewing]

Whoever does the music for these needs to make an actual serious music album. They're awesome.

[mikoajbaszczyszyn]

"I bless your outfit, mmhhhmm that's a good choice" is so cheeky I love it

[harryv]

Luke's got bars for days. And with Indian voice C-3P0 as his sidekick...

Untouchable.

[Crazelord]

1st listen: "Eh this is OK"
2nd Listen: "Huh... it actually is pretty catchy"
8, 563rd consecutive listen: "EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S THE FUTURE!!!!..."

[johannesbecker]

Chewy actually looks like an 80's rock star when you think about it

[berhonkusbardledoo]

“Spaces leprechaun fade away”
“Cyborg with no big boy word to say”
“Floating in the diaper tank”
This is a real masterpiece.
