Lyrics
:
I used to be a sweet and innocent child See the world in pictures of black and white Now it's all fading into one big crazy Twenty first century attitude I can't move and I can't sit still Positives and negatives are making me ill I can't speak but I'm not dumb I might look like a hero but I feel like a bum Come on, come on Into the twenty first century A schizophrenic virtuality Into the twenty first century I'm bitter... I'm twisted... I'm cynical me Is this what you wanted? Is this what you really want? Is this what you wanted? Is this what you really want from me? Into the twenty first century Twenty first century I saw the best minds of a generation Dial up destruction with needles and guns I saw the blue sneakers on the blood stained carpet The media smiled 'cause it got what it wanted Into the twenty first century A schizophrenic virtuality Into the twenty first century I'm bitter... I'm twisted... I'm cynical me Is this what you wanted? Is this what you really want? Is this what you wanted? Is this what you really want from me? Into the twenty first century Twenty first century I used to be a sweet and innocent child See the world in pictures of black and white Now it's all fading into one big crazy Twenty first century attitude Is this what you wanted? Is this what you really want? Is this what you wanted? Is this what you really want? It's the twenty first century A schizophrenic virtuality It's the twenty first century I'm bitter... I'm twisted... I'm cynical me Into the twenty first century Twenty first century Come on, come on Is this what you really want from me? Is this what you wanted? Is this what you really want? Into the twenty first century I'm bitter... I'm twisted... I'm cynical me Into the twenty first century Is this what you really want from me? You used to be a sweet and innocent child See the world in pictures of black and white Into the twenty first century Century Century���. Is this what you wanted? Is this what you really want from me? Into the twenty first century Into the twenty first century

Mike Peters Notes
:”I was never completely happy with the original lyric of the ’21st’ demo version that appeared on the ‘System’ CD, and so I updated it in the studio during the recording sessions. It has been interesting to release the demo first and allow people into the development of the song. This is something I might try again in the future.”
