This is the age of machinery |
|
A mechanical nightmare |
|
The wonderful world of technology |
|
Napalm hydrogen bombs biological warfare |
|
This is the twentieth century |
|
But too much aggravation |
|
It's the age of insanity |
|
What has become of the green pleasant fields of Jerusalem |
|
Ain't got no ambition |
|
I'm just disillusioned |
|
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna be here |
|
My mama said, she can't understand me |
|
She can't see my motivation |
|
Just give me some security |
|
I'm a paranoid schizoid product of the twentieth century |
|
You keep all your smart modern writers |
|
Give me William Shakespeare |
|
You keep all your smart modern painters |
|
I'll take Rembrandt, Titian, Da Vinci and Gainsborough |
|
Girl we gotta get out of here |
|
We gotta find a solution |
|
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't want to, don't want to die here |
|
Girl we gotta get out of here |
|
We gotta find a solution |
|
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna be here |
|
I was born in a welfare state |
|
Ruled by bureaucracy |
|
Controlled by civil servants |
|
And people dressed in gray |
|
Got no privacy got no liberty |
|
'Cause the twentieth century people |
|
Took it all away from me |
|
Don't wanna get myself shot down |
|
By some trigger happy policeman |
|
Gotta keep a hold on my sanity |
|
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here |
|
My mama says she can't understand me |
|
She can't see my motivation |
|
Ain't got no security, |
|
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here |
|
Don't want a twentieth century man |
|
Don't want a twentieth century man |
|
Don't want a twentieth century man |
|
Don't want a twentieth century man |
|
I want a twentieth century man |
|
This is the twentieth century |
|
But too much aggravation |
|
This is the edge of insanity |
|
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna be here |
