Track Insight / Lyrics
Marty told me 2015 would glitter, glide, and shine
Flying cars and fusion pockets, everything divine
I waited by the mailbox like a prophet in the rain
For a future that was promised and delivered mostly pain
Instead I got a phone that spies and rent that never ends
And a De
Lorean's worth of debt I'll pass on to my friends
(Pre-Chorus)
Bass and toms, tense pulse building...
They sold us silver jumpsuits, sold us holograms and grace
But the only thing that's floating is the junk we send to space
I'm not the kid they wanted, I'm the man who wants his cash back
So start the flux capacitor —
(Chorus)
WHERE'S MY HOVERBOARD? — you promised me the sky!
WHERE'S MY HOVERBOARD? — I'm still stuck in 2025!
You gave me selfie sticks and wars and forty kinds of Coke —
WHERE'S MY HOVERBOARD? WHERE'S MY HOVERBOARD?
(Verse 2)
Doc Brown said we'd have robots doing all the boring chores
Instead I've got a chatbot that writes poems and starts wars
They swore we'd cure the common cold, we cured the common handshake
And everyone's a brand now, every soul's a tiny snowflake
The Cubs won, that part was true, I'll give the movie that
But Biff owns half of Congress and he tweets from a golden flat
(Pre-Chorus)
They can keep their jetpacks, keep their pizza-hydrating lies
I was born inside a timeline where the villain never dies
I'm not the hero that they wanted, I'm the guy who lost the plot
So hit eighty-eight —
(Chorus)
WHERE'S MY HOVERBOARD? — you promised me the sky!
WHERE'S MY HOVERBOARD? — I'm still stuck in 2025!
You gave me selfie sticks and wars and forty kinds of Coke —
WHERE'S MY HOVERBOARD? WHERE'S MY HOVERBOARD?
(Bridge)
...
And if I ever get that car...
...and hit the road at eighty-eight...
...
I'll drive straight back to 1985...
...and tell them: don't believe the slate...
(Final Chorus)
WHERE'S MY HOVERBOARD? (great Scott!) — you promised me the sky!
WHERE'S MY HOVERBOARD? (great Scott!) — I'm still stuck in 2025!
You gave me selfie sticks and wars and forty kinds of Coke —
WHERE'S MY HOVERBOARD? WHERE'S MY HOVERBOARD?
WHERE'S... MY... BOARD...
