This Is the 21st Century |
| A wise man once said |
| A flower is only |
| A sexual organ |
| Beauty is cruelty |
| And evolution |
| A wise man once said |
| That everything could be explained |
| With mathematics |
| He had denied |
| His feminine side |
| Now where is the wisdom in that? |
| I came just as fast as I could |
| Through the dirty air |
| Of your neighbourhood |
| Your name on a grain of rice |
| Hangin' around my neck |
| And a head like lead |
| This is the 21st century |
| I heard everything they said |
| The universe demystified |
| Chemicals for god |
| This is the 21st century |
| I heard everything they said |
| A wise man once wrote |
| That love is only |
| An ancient instinct |
| For reproduction |
| Natural selection |
| A wise man once said |
| That everything could be explained |
| And it’s all in the brain |
| We lay on a velvet rug |
| By the open fire |
| She blew air on my eyelids |
| I cried «what's it all about? |
| «As she kissed my hair |
| She said «there, there.» |
| This is the 21st century |
| I heard everything you said |
| The universe demystified |
| Astronomy instead |
| This is the 21st century |
| Can’t you get it through your head |
| This ain’t the way it was meant to be |
| Magic isn’t dead |
| Come to bed |
| Come to bed |
| And rest your heavy head my love |
| And slowly, from above |
| She showed the answer’s something |
| That can’t be written down |
| This is the 21st century |
| Flash to crash and burn |
| Nobody’s gonna give you anything |
| For nothing in return |
| There’s a man up in a mirrored building |
| And he just bought the world |
| Would you want |
| To have kids |
| Growing up |
| Into what’s left of this? |
| She shook her head |
| She said «can't you see? |
| The world is you |
| The world is me.» |
