Sam Sparro - 21st Century Life - Radio Edit lyrics

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 its too bad (oops) Because Im never alone Its not just a phone Its 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 Im not a little boy Im in the 21st century Well you might think weve come a really long way, but theres 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 Im 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
