- Batman: I'm not going to kill you. I want you to do me a favor. I want you to tell all your friends about me.
- Criminal: What are you?!
- Batman: I'm Batman.
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it works
If there's life after, we will see
So I can't go like a jerk
Systematic overthrow of the underclass
Hollywood conjures images of the past
New world needs spiritually that will last
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it works
And if there's life after, we will see
So I can't go like a jerk
Yellow Smiley offers me X
Like he's drinking 7Up
I would rather drink six razor blades
Razor blades from a paper cup
He can't understand, I say too tough
It's just that I've seen the future
And boy, it's rough
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it works
And if there's life after, we will see
So you can't go like a jerk
No, no
I've seen the future and it will be
Wait a minute
Pretty pony standing on the avenue
Flashing a loaded pistol, too dumb to be true
Somebody told him playing cops and robbers was cool
Would our rap have been different if we only knew
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it works
If there's life after, we will see
Don't go out like a jerk
Systematic overthrow of the underclass
Hollywood conjures images of the past
New world needs spiritually that will last
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it will be
- Jack Napier: Think about the future!
