It's the age of insanity
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't want
Girl, we gotta get out of here
This is the twentieth century
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't want
But too much aggravation
But too much aggravation
We gotta find a solution
This is the twentieth century
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here
The wonderful world of technology
Gotta keep a hold on my sanity
I don't wanna be here
I'm just disillusioned
I'm a paranoid schizoid product of the twentieth century
Mama besides she can't understand me
I'll take Rembrandt, titian, da Vinci and Gainsborough
I don't wanna be here
What has become of the green pleasant fields of Jerusalem
This is the edge of insanity
Controlled by civil servants and people dressed in gray
By some trigger happy policeman
You keep all your smart modern writers
We gotta find a solution
She can't see my motivation
Give me William Shakespeare
'Cos the twentieth century people
Took it all away from me
Napalm hydrogen bombs biological warfare
My mama says, she can't understand me
Don't wanna get myself shot down
I don't wanna die here
Just give me some security
She can't see my motivation
Ain't got no security
You keep all your smart modern painters
Got no privacy, got no liberty
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't want
Girl, we gotta get out of here
Ain't got no ambition
I was born in a welfare state, ruled by bureaucracy
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here
