21st Century (Digital Boy)

(Album: Kill Us All - 2022)

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, yeah
Symbolized bar code, quick IDs, 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?

I can't explain it: the things you're saying to me
It's going 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?

I 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 read but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle-class intellectual
My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual

(21st century digital boy)
Cat's foot, iron claw
(21st century digital boy)
Neurosurgeon, scream for more
(21st century digital boy)
Innocence raped with napalm fire
(21st century digital boy)
Everything I want, I really need

Ain't life a mystery?
