It's Only a Matter of Time

I'm looking around

There's nothing here can slow me down

It's feeling like my lucky day

Gonna make it and then skate away

I'll be on the radio

They'll know me everywhere I go

It won't be long, they're gonna see

I'll be on MTV

I'll rock my future

A winner, not a loser

Nothing anyone can say can make it any other way

I've got my future

A player, not a cruiser

I'll be just what I wanna be

Rockin' all the way through history

It's feeling like a new day

Not another instant replay

Gonna finally do it my way

Yeah

A perfect future

For a shaker and a mover

Every note is in its place

With lots of treble, lots of bass

I'll rock my future

Could it be any cooler?

All I gotta do is play

My troubles disappear and go away

Elect me Golden Wilson for Mayor

My new progress platform means more jobs

Lower taxes and bigger civic improvements

Vote for me if you want to advance

I'll serve you faithfully if you'll give me a chance

I believe the future will be brighter than before

Hey! When I got started, I was sweeping up the floor

'Cause it's only a matter of time

'Til the bells of prosperity chime

We'll be part of a new day, a long overdue day

I'll lead us as we make the climb

It's only a matter of time (I'm breaking through the fourth wall)

A new paradigm so sublime (I'm flying and I can't fall)

It's only a matter of, it's just a matter of

Outlook, oh so good

Yeah

Come on now, future

Let's hit the turbo booster

Buckle up without a care

Now you can take it anywhere

Write my future (write my future)

For Simon and for Schuster

The tale of how I came to be

A rock 'n' roll biography, yeah
