Lyrics
Time Machine
by Dick Groves


If we could look into the future
What sort of world would we see
Would we recognise the earth
Do we want to know our destiny.

CHORUS
It’s time to find out, if it’s too late to hold the clock
It’s time to find out, if it’s too late for us to stop.
Give me a time machine, see what the future holds
Give me a time machine, do our problems stay unsolved.
Give me a time machine, global warming thru the roof
Give me a time machine, I need to know the truth.

You need to ask yourself, where did all the trees go
You need to ask yourself, why don’t even grasses grow.

If we get to look ahead
Is it somewhere we want to see
A future filled with fear and dread
A place where no-one wants to be.

CHORUS

But should you blame yourself, could you have prevented it
Leaders all around the world, you’re the ones who invented it.

CHORUS +

Give me a time machine, see what the future holds
Give me a time machine, do our problems stay unsolved.
Give me a time machine, see what the human race has done
Have we lost the planets battle, has mother nature won.
