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 offerin' me
Symbolized bar code
Quick ID oh yeah
'Cause I'm a 21st century
digital boy
I don't know how to live
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 yeah
I can't explain it
The things you're sayin' to me
It's goin' ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
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 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 21st century
digital boy
I don't know how to live
But I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy
middle-class intellectual
My mommy's on Valium
So ineffectual
Cat's foot
Iron claw
Neurosurgeon
Scream for more
Innocence raped with
napalm fire
Everything I want
I really need
Ain't life a mystery yeah
