When I was a little boy
l lived in the last century
I thought about living in the future
Then it occured to me
I turned around
The future is now!
The furure is all around me
Nothing like I had imagined
It was totally compounding
21st century life
I got swept away
I got 21 thousand things that I got to do today
21st century life
When what can I say?
The new worlds got me felling so dirty
think I need to get down and play
Well now I turn on the TV just in time
to hear what the pope said  the pope said
And just a few tiny little words later
Somebody wants the man dead
What about famine and diseases
Well they said it's too bad opps!
Because I'm never alone
It's not just a phone
It's a stero
21st century life
I got swept away
I got 21 thousand things that I gonna do today
21st century life
What can I say?
The new worlds got me felling so dirty
think I need to get down and play
Now I'm not a litte boy
l'm in the 21st century
Well you might think we've come a really long way
but there's still no equailty
I watched a news on my computer screen
talking about buying my weed out of the vending machine
You tell me l'm free
but how can it be?
When you're always watch'n me on the CCTV
21st century life
I got swept away
I got 21 thousand things that I gonna do today
21st century life
What can I say?
The new worlds got me  felling so dirty
think I need to get down and play
21 21 21 oh oh
