《The Universal》是英國樂隊Blur創作的單曲，首發於2000年並多次收錄於精選專輯。該曲由主唱Damon Albarn與樂隊成員共同創作，以英倫搖滾融合交響樂編排為特色，背景植根於千禧年前後科技與消費主義擴張的社會語境。
歌曲通過重複的副歌“It really could happen”與“衛星入萬家”等意象，勾勒出科技進步下個體疏離與集體憧憬的衝突圖景。歌詞“未來已被售出”暗喻技術烏托邦的虛幻性，弦樂烘托出宏大而荒誕的寓言氛圍。現場版本與不同專輯收錄印證了其作為Blur代表作的持續演繹。

歌曲歌詞
This is the next century
Where the universal's free
You can find it anywhere
Yes the future has been sold
Every night we're gone
And to karaoke songs
How we like to sing a long
Although the words are wrong
It really really really could happen
Yes it really really really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you well just let them go
No one here is alone satellites in every home
Yes the universal's here here for everyone
Every paper that you read
Says tomorrow is your lucky day
Well here's your lucky day
It really really really could happen
Yes it really really really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you well just let them go
Well it really really really could happen
Yes it really really really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you well just let them go
Just let them go
