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 barcode, quick id
Oh, yeah
'Cause I'm a twenty-first century digital boy
I don't know how to live but I 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, yeah?
I can't explain it
The things you're're saying to me
It's going yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
'Cause I'm a twenty-first century digital boy
I don't know how to read but I got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle-class intellectual
My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual, oh
Ain't life a mystery, yeah?
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?
'Cause I'm a twenty-first century digital boy
I don't know how to live but I got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle-class intellectual
My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual, yeah
Cats, foot, iron claw
(Twenty-first century digital boy)
Neurosurgeon screams for more
(Twenty-first century digital boy)
Innocents raped with napalm fire
(Twenty-first century digital boy)
Everything I want, I really need
Ain't life a mystery, yeah?
