about

Chad discovers an amazing device called 'the future button,' where every time he pushes it he is transported hundreds of years into the future, both visually and musically. In his journey he meets 2 people - Marty McFlow and The Night Crow, who tell him what the future entails.

lyrics

I have something I want to show you but you can't tell anyone
I don't know how it works they call it a future button
And when I push it this is what it does (hit it)

Now were in the future son
It looks pretty cool but it's kinda dumb because
14 billion people exist
So it smells kinda bad and looks like this
The style is goth mixed with the 80's
For some reason it's always raining
When you wanna get with a girl who you think is hot
There's an 80/20 chance that she's a robot

That was scary but kind of awesome
Don't you wanna do it again
Everything seems so bleak please tell me
There's a hero coming soon

Every guy here thinks he's a hero
'They talk like this' I'm like what's your deal bro?
You're acting kinda psycho when you drive a motorcycle
And you call yourself 'The Night Crow' but I know your name is Michael
Don't you have work tomorrow morning Michael
"Yea so?"
Well maybe you should get some rest instead of crusiing the highways, wasting gas, and interfering with police business?
"No! I Can't! The City needs me!
There's too much corruption violence and greed
I believe I can be a symbol of opportunity
To free every person like me who has a bigger dream than
Waking up for work and taking orders from a jerk
Inside you're gonna go berzerk cause stable living is your perk
Thats not living, that's dying slow
Who's gonna change all that? The Night Crow"

Whoa, bro, listen up yo
Your flow is pretty dope maybe you should just rap
A career change now? It's too late for that
You would sell out seats, I could make your beats
I'll think about it follow me @nightcrowtweets
Well, see, you just lost me
Nobody's used twitter since 2023
It's a cyber wasteland, digital ash
Mart McFlow I'm gonna kick your--

It sounds like there are lots of changes that we're currently moving towards
Just tell me this do scientists make a working

Hoverboards? No. It never happens
But flying cars do and we always crash 'em
Sounds like a bummer, I thought we'd get smarter
We just find new ways to make things harder
Looking at the future what's the one thing
That you wish you could stop from happening
Its really kinda small, but in short
Making taking selfies an Olympic sport

Really? Weird. People do that
No, but you shoulda seen the look on your face
The future is anything you want it to be
Cause everyone here is using virtual reality

Chad Need-it, err, Net...uhh...Nee-yate? Oh NEAT, ok, now that we've cleared that up, Chad NEAT likes pin-balling between music and comedy, sometimes blending the two for a marriage of laughs and lullabies.

Recently Chad released his debut album "Am I Doing This Right," a collection of original songs that showcase both Chad's playful goofiness and honest angst. Check it out!
