Sam Sparro - 21st Century Life lyrics
rate meWhen I was a little boy
Livin in the last century
I thought about living in the future
Then it occurred to me
I turned around
The future was now
The future was all aound me
nothing like I had imagined
It was totally confounding
now
21st century life
I got swept away
I got 21,000 things
That I gotta do today
21st century life
What can I say?
The new world's got me feelin so dirty
Think I need to get down and play
Well now I
Turned on the tv just in time enough
To hear what the pope said
pope said
And just a few tiny little words later
Somebody wants the man dead
Well what about family disease?
well They said it's too bad (oops)
Because I'm never alone
It's not just the phone
It's a stereo (now)
21st century life
I got swept away
I got 21,000 things
That I gotta do today
21st century life
What can I say?
The new world's got me feelin so dirty
Think I need to get down and play
Now I'm not a little boy
livin' in the 21st century
Well you think we've come a really long way
But there's still no equality
I watch the news on my computer screen
Talking about
Buying my weed out of the vending machine
they tell me I'm free
but how can that be?
When you're always watchin me on the cctv?
21st century life
I got swept away
I got 21,000 things
That I gotta do today
21st century life
What can I say?
The new world's got me feelin so dirty
Think I need to get down and play
21,21,21 21st century, 21,21,21
