Sam Sparro - 21st Century Life
Sam Sparro - 21st Century Life
When I was a little boy
Living 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
Hey-ohhh
21st century life
I got swept away
I got 21,000 things that I got to do today
21st century life
Well what can I say?
The new world’s got me feeling so dirty
Think I need to get down and play
Well now I turned on the TV just in time enough to hear what the Pope said, Pope said
And just a few tiny words later
Somebody wants the man dead, oh
Well what about famine and disease
Well they said it’s too bad (oops)
Because I’m never alone
It’s not just a phone
It’s a stereo
Hey-ohhh
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’s got me feeling so dirty
Think I need to get down and play
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
Mmm hey hey
I watched the news on my computer screen
Talkin’ ’bout buying my weed out of a vending machine
You tell me I’m free
Well how can that 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’s got me feeling so dirty
Think I need to get down and play
21, 21, 21
I’m talkin’ ’bout 21, 21, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
woohoo, oh ha ha, woohoo, woohoo, woohoo, oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
