wise man once said 
flower is only 
ual organ 
Beauty is [bad word] 
And evolution 
wise man once said 
that everything could be explained with mathematics 
He had denied 
His feminine side 
Now where is the wisdom in that? 

I came just as fast as I could 
Through the dirty air 
Of your neighbourhood 
Your name on a grain of rice 
Hangin' around my neck 
And a head like lead 

This is the 21st century 
I heard everything they said 
The Universe demystified 
Chemicals for God 
This is the 21st century 

wise man once wrote 
That love is only 
An ancient instinct 
For reproduction 
Natural selection 
wise man once said 
That everything could be explained 
And it's all in the brain 

"This is the 21st century 
I heard everything you said 
The universe demystified 
Astronomy instead 
This is the 21st century 
Can't you get it through your head 
This ain't the way it was meant to be 
Magic isn't dead  [bad word] to bed  [bad word] to bed 

And rest your heavy head my love.." 

And slowly, from above, 
She showed the answer's something that can't be written down 

This is the 21st century 
It's flash to crash and burn 
Nobody's gonna give you anything 
For nothing in return 
There's a man up in a mirrored building 
And he just bought the world 
Would you want 
Your own kids 
Growing up 
Into what's left of this? 
She shook her head, 
She said "Can't you see? 
The world is you 
The world is me."
