The US will drive like the rest of the world, And declare peace on the Middle East for all times ahead; Good films and books will be successful; And punk’s not dead. Justin Bieber will bottom all the charts; Pink Floyd'll be back together; Bond will like his martinis stirred, not shaken; Race, gender, class and orientation will be nonsense words; And there’ll be no sequels to Taken. Teenagers will fawn reading Tolstoy and not Meyer; Old, black men will order the "extra whip, non-fat, caramel latte, venti;" Art galleries will be closed to people over 21; And poets will feature in the Top 20. There will be equal jobs and opportunities for everyone; Humans will give up on colonising mars and the moon; We will bring down the imperialistic, capitalist, racist, misogynistic hetero-patriarchy; And you will love me, tonight at noon.

In our Alternate Universe
The US will drive like the rest of the world, And declare peace on the Middle East for all times ahead; Good films and books will be successful; And punk’s not dead. Justin Bieber will bottom all the charts; Pink Floyd'll be back together; Bond will like his martinis stirred, not shaken; Race, gender, class and orientation will be nonsense words; And there’ll be no sequels to Taken. Teenagers will fawn reading Tolstoy and not Meyer; Old, black men will order the "extra whip, non-fat, caramel latte, venti;" Art galleries will be closed to people over 21; And poets will feature in the Top 20. There will be equal jobs and opportunities for everyone; Humans will give up on colonising mars and the moon; We will bring down the imperialistic, capitalist, racist, misogynistic hetero-patriarchy; And you will love me, tonight at noon.
