Artist: Sam Sparro Album: Sam Sparro (2008) Title: 21st Century Life
Lyrics 21st Century LifeWhen 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 around me Nothing like I had imagined It was totally confounding Heey-ohh-woo
21st century life I got swept away I got 21 thousand 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 pray
Well now I Turned on the TV just in time enough To hear what the Pope said The Pope said And just a few tiny little words later Somebody wants the man dead Well what about famine and disease? They said it's too bad (oops) Because I'm never alone It's not just the phone It's the stereo (ooooo)
21st century life I got swept away I got 21 thousand 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 pray
Now I'm not a little boy I'm in the 21st century Well you might think we've come a really long way But there's still no equality I watch the news on my computer screen Talkin' about Buying my weed out of a vending machine You tell me I'm free Well how can that be When you're always watchin' me on the CCTV?
21st century life I got swept away I got 21 thousand 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 pray
Whoawhoa 21, 21, 21... Im' talkin' about 21, 21, whoawhoa-hoooo woohoo, woohoo, woohoo |
