21st Century Life

I got 21,000 things that I gotta do today
What about famine and disease, well they said it's too bad, oops
21st century life, well what can I say?
What the Pope said, the Pope said
Talking about buying my weed out of a vending machine
When you're always watching me on the CCTV
21st century life, well what can I say?
Think I need to get down and play
Because I'm never alone, it's not just a phone, it's a stereo
Nothing like I had imagined, it was totally confounding
Think I need to get down and play

The new world's got me feeling so dirty

21st century life, well what can I say?
The new world's got me feeling so dirty
And just a few tiny words later somebody wants the man dead
You tell me I'm free but how can it be
Now I'm not a little boy, I'm in the 21st century
21, 21, 21

I got 21,000 things that I gotta do today
I watched the news on my computer screen
But there's still no equality
Think I need to get down and play

Well, you might think we've come a really long way
21st century life, I got swept away
The new world's got me feeling so dirty

I turned around the future was now, the future was all around me
21st century life, I got swept away
I got 21,000 things that I gotta do today
Well, now I turned on the TV just in time enough to hear
21st century life, I got swept away
