I can´t believe it, the way you look sometimes
Like a trampled flag on a city street, oh yeah
And I don´t want it, the things you´re offering me
Symbolized bar code, quick ID, oh yeah

See I´m a 21st century digital boy
I don´t know how to read but I´ve got a lot of toys
My daddy´s a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy´s on Valium, so ineffectual
Ain´t life a mystery?

I can´t explain it, the things you´re saying to me
It´s going yayayayayayaya, oh yeah

Cause I´m a 21st century digital boy
I don´t know how to read but I´ve got a lot of toys
My daddy´s a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy´s on Valium, so ineffectual
Ain´t life a mystery?

Tried to tell you about no control
But now I really don´t know
And then you told me how bad you had to suffer
Is that really all you have to offer?

See I´m a 21st century digital boy
I don´t know how to read but I´ve got a lot of toys
My daddy´s a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy´s on Valium, so ineffectual
Ain´t life a mystery?

Cat´s foot, iron claw
Neurosurgeon, scream for more
Innocence raped with napalm fire
Everything I want, I really need.

21st century schizoid boy
21st century video boy
21st century digital boy...
