Letras de Twentieth Century Man

This is the age of machinery
A mechanical nightmare
The wonderful world of technology
Napalm, hydrogen bombs, biological warfare
This is the twentieth century
Too much aggravation
It′s the age of insanity
What has become of the green pleasant fields of Jerusalem?

Ain't got no ambition
I′m just disillusioned
I'm a twentieth-century man
But I don't want, I don′t want to be here

My mama says she can′t understand me
She can't see my motivation
Just give me some security
I′m a paranoid, schizoid product of the twentieth century
You keep all your smart modern writers
Give me William Shakespeare
You keep all your smart modern painters
I'll take Bam Bam Fish and the Vengeing Angels

Girl, we gotta get out of here
We gotta find a solution
I′m a twentieth-century man
But I don't want, I don′t want to die here

Yeah, we gotta get out of here
We gotta find a solution
I'm a twentieth-century man
But I don't want, I don′t want to be here

I was born in a welfare state
Ruled by bureaucracy
Controlled by civil servants
And people dressed in grey
Got no privacy
Got no liberty
′Cause the twentieth-century people
Took it all away from me

Don't wanna get myself shot down
By some trigger-happy policeman
Gotta keep a hold of my sanity
I′m a twentieth-century man
But I don't want to die here

My mama says she can′t understand me
She can't see my motivation
Ain′t got no security
I'm a twentieth-century man
But I don't want to die here

I don′t want twentieth-century man
I don′t want twentieth-century man
I don't want twentieth-century man

This is the twentieth century
Too much aggravation
This is the age of insanity
I′m a twentieth-century man
But I don't want to be here
