Wave of the Future

I have an effects pedal for my guitar with some really good and some really weird effects. I have messed around with pretty much all of them and really wanted to find a reason to use one call “Stellar” (I think?). It’s this really funky sounding Sci-Fi tone and very unusual. So I figured I would write some lyrics, make the song, and throw it in. I will work really hard to get the song recorded.

Wave of the Future - Awkward Aarvark
A B
In the wave of the future
A B
presents the problems -- of the past
we need a different solution
to get what we lost back

And when the truth unfolds
It changes what we know
We don’t know what to do, what to say
We’ll say it anyway

[chorus]
We have ideas
We’ll help our mothers
We have the truth
We’ll help our fathers too
Don’t look to the past for redemption
It won’t come back for you

(Spoken)
What you thought you knew
Can help another few
Just the way, find the way
And I’ll help them too

[chorus]
We have ideas
We’ll help our mothers
We have the truth
We’ll help our fathers too
Don’t look to the past for redemption
It won’t come back for you
Here are the tabs for the basic single guitar verse:
A B A B

Not sure exactly if that’s what I was looking for, but I kinda like it anyway. What about ya’ll. I guess you really need to hear it to get thoughts but w/e.
