Sam Sparro - 21st Century Life Lyrics

When I was a little boy living in the last century I thought about living in the future then it occurred yo me I turned around the future was now the future was all around me nothing like I had imagined it was totally confounding 21st century life well what can say? the new world got me feeling so dirty think I need to get down and play well now I turned on the TV just in time to hear what the pope said pope said and just a few tiny words later somebody wants the man dead what about famine and disease well they say it's too bad (oops) because I'm never alone it's not just a phone it's a stereo 21st century life I got swept away I got 21, 000 things that I got to do today 21st century life what can I say the new world got me feeling so dirty think I need to get down and play now I'm not a little boy I'm living in the 21st century well you might think we've come a really long way but there's still no equality I watched the news on my computer screen talking about buying my weed out of a vending machine you tell me I'm free but how can it be when you're always watching me on the CCTV 21st century life I got swept away I got 21, 000 things that I got to do today 21st century life what can I say? the new world got me feeling so dirty think I need to get down and play 21, 21, 21 I'm talking about 21, 21
