For everyone living their best Plan "B"

lyrics

The World’s Fair

Verse 1
I took a trip to the World’s Fair
To see what the future held in store.
There were flying cars and trips to Mars once a day.

We’d all live to be 100,
And nobody’s sick or poor.
But the Future’s here, and it didn’t work out that way.

Cho:
Who said, Who said.
Who ever said the world’s fair.

Verse 2
I had a boy and we were in love.
We were so sure we’d never split.
I would be a nurse and he’d be an astronaut.
But Billy took off for California
And I ended up with his kid.
Some things (just) don’t go the way they ought.

Cho:
Who said, Who said.
Who ever said the world’s fair

Bridge:
Everybody flew at super-sonic speeds
And the Future looked so good to me.

But I don’t spend a lot of time crying about
The way Tomorrowland didn’t work out.

Cho:
Who said, Who said.
Who ever said the world’s fair

Who said, Who said.
Who ever said the world’s fair

Verse 3
I had some dreams that all came true
And I had some dreams that fell apart.
I didn’t get to outer space
And I didn’t get a flying car.
I didn’t get the girl I wanted
But I probably got the girl I need.
Mo: I’m still working to heal this broken heart.
