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
[Chorus:] See I'm a 21st century digital boy I don't know how to read but I've 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 you're saying to me It's going yayayayayayaya, oh yeah
[Chorus]
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?
[Chorus]
[outro] Cat's foot, iron claw Neurosurgeon, scream for more Innocence raped with napalm fire Everything I want, I really need.
[fade out] 21st century schizoid boy 21st century video boy 21st century digital boy...
