The way you're looking at me
Don't want to get too sentimental
Celebrate the athlete
Don't open; confidential
Used to be more art-school
Now I'm speaking with an accent
Picking from a new pool
Are we in the past or present?

Get them off of me

Too concerned with skin care
Never know what's fact or fable
Always something out there
Now we act like Cain and Abel
Entertaining downstairs
Chain-smoking on the davenport
Have you seen the dishware?
Throw the towels in and watch the

Open the portal

All the creatures, on the beaches
Makin' waves in the motion picture
Won't you keep this, in between us
Search and seizure, wake up venus

The dollar bill will
Return the ill pill
Mom and Dad take your 'dont be sad' pill
Turn the screw and twist my language
Don't forsake me im contagious!

Theres a reason for the twenty-first century...
Not too sure but I know that its meant to be
And that it's meant to be

It's my favorite combination
Comin' down with the favored nations
Deep rotation, mutilation
Learn to give and take dictation
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Like the Cain and Able
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Time to run this table

There's a reason for the 21st Century
Not too sure but I know that's it's meant to be

Show me your wrist and I'll
Kiss it kiss it
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Like the Cain and Able
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
It's time to run this table

Simple Soldier, hand it over
Stop and read what you just told her
Strangulation , altercation
Oral Sex and bird migration

Not to sure but I know that's it's meant to be
And that it's meant to be yeah

Like a trampled flag on a city street,
Oh yeah,
And I dont want it,
The things youre offering me,
Symbolized bar code quick id,
Oh yeah,
Coz Im a 21st century digital boy,
I dont know how to live (or read)
But Ive got a lot of toys,
My daddy is lazy middle class intellectual,
My mammys on valium,
So ineffectual,
Aint life a mystery?

I cant explain it,
The things theyre saying to me,
Going yayayayayayaya,
Oh yeah,
I tried to tell you about no control,
But now I really dont know,
And then you told me how bad you had to suffer,
Is that really all you have to offer?
