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