I felt my heartbeat racing away as I watched the giant screens in the park
Bands were playing, trying to feed the world
To save a nation from hunger and starvation but I don't think a thing has changed
The headlines, still read the same so
Welcome to the 21st century
Same as the last one only older not wiser
Welcome to the 21st century
Same as the last one only older not wiser
I felt my heartbeat racing away as I heard the news on the TV today
War is coming to a foreign land and our soldiers are gonna go and lay their lives on the line
But I don't think a thing will change the headlines, still read the same so
Welcome to the 21st century
Same as the last one only older not wiser
Welcome to the 21st century
Same as the last one only older not wiser
I felt my heartbeat racing away as I heard them talking in the bar today
My mind went back over history all the things that people used to do to each other
But I don't thinkthings have changed the headlines, still read the same so
Welcome to the 21st century
Same as the last one only older not wiser
Welcome to the 21st century
Same as the last one only older not wiser
Welcome to the 21st century
Welcome to the 21st century
Welcome to the 21st century
