21st Century (Digital Boy)

I can't believe it

The way you look sometimes

Like a trampled flag on a city street

Oh, yeah

And I don't want it

The things you're offering me

Symbolized bar code, quick ID

Oh, yeah

'Cause I'm a 21st century digital boy

I don't know how to live, but I got a lot of toys

My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual

My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual

Ain't life a mystery?

I can't explain it

The things they're saying to me

It's going, "Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya"

Oh, yeah

'Cause I'm a 21st century digital boy

I don't know how to read, but I got a lot of toys

My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual

My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual

Ain't life a mystery?

Tried to tell you about no control

But now, I really don't know

And then you told me how bad you had to suffer

Is that really all you have to offer?

See, I'm a 21st century digital boy

I don't know how to read, but I got a lot of toys

My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual

My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual

Cat's foot, iron claw (21st century digital boy)

Neurosurgeon, scream for more (21st century digital boy)

Innocence raped with napalm fire (21st century digital boy)

Everything I want, I really need (21st century digital boy)

21st century schizoid boy

21st century video boy

21st century digital boy

21st century sofa boy
