21st century (digital boy)

i can't believe it: the way you look sometimes

like a trampled flag on a city street

and i don't want it: the things you're offering me

symbolized bar code

quick id

'cause i'm a 21st century digital boy

i don't know how to live 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 ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

'cause 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?

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 21st century digital boy

i don't know how to live but i've got a lot of toys

my daddy's a lazy middle-class intellectual

my mommy's on valium

so ineffectual

21st century digital boy

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

ain't life a mystery?
