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?
