Larry Norman - Living in the 20th Century (Neoprimitive Dance mix) lyrics

Why are you here? What is this place? I bid you welcome to the human race Under certain pain, it always rains From sea to shining sea People in pain, poverty cries Deception touches everybody's lives White men may see this is life The way that it ought to be So I've been praying for the starving poor And I keep pointing toward the open door And I keep dreaming of a distant shore Where men are free We're living in the twentieth century Sitting in the lap of luxury Seeing only what you want to see Living in the twentieth century People are blind, don't comprehend The angry lion that they called their friend He seeks to devour, to seek and destroy the weak We k** unknown children, then cry save the whales Let the poor criminals out of jail We think evolution of the species Will help man to learn to turn the other cheek So I've been praying for the starving poor And I keep pointing toward the open door And I keep dreaming of a distant shore Where men are free We're living in the twentieth century Sitting in the lap of luxury Seeing only what you want to see Living in the twentieth century
