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 barcode, quick I.D

Oh yeah

'Cause I'm a twenty-first 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, yeah?

I can't explain it

The things you're're saying to me

It's going yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah

'Cause I'm a twenty-first 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, oh

Ain't life a mystery, yeah?

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?

'Cause I'm a twenty-first 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, yeah

(Twenty-first century digital boy) cats, sports, iron claw

(Twenty-first century digital boy) neurosurgeon screams for more

(Twenty-first century digital boy) innocents raped with napalm fire

(Twenty-first century digital boy) everything I want, I really need

Ain't life a mystery, yeah?
