ABC: Someone Just Bought It

Posted by admin on Wednesday, March 17, 2021

ABC Money Quote saying if we could see our futures, we’d know it wasn’t affordable but someone will buy it anyway. ABC said:
 

 

“I’ve seen the future, I can’t afford it Tell me the truth sir, someone just bought it” — ABC

 

 

These lyrics from the ABC song “The Look of Love” seem to be commenting on economic inequality and uncertainty. “I’ve seen the future, I can’t afford it” suggests the singer has glimpsed a promising vision of the future but realizes it is out of financial reach.

By asking “Tell me the truth sir, someone just bought it”, they seem to be questioning someone in power about how the future they saw is now owned or controlled by another. The lyrics capture the feeling of seeing opportunities for a better future but understanding forces outside one’s control can determine who actually benefits from economic and technological changes.
