Karaoké 21st Century Life Sam Sparro

When I was a little boy living in the last century

I thought about living in the future then it occurred to me

I turned around the future was now the future was all around me

Nothing like I imagined it was totally confounding, oh

Twenty-first century life

I got swept away

I got twenty-one thousand things that I got to do today

Twenty-first century life

Well what can I say?

The new world got me feeling so dirty think I need to get down and play

Well now I turned on the TV just in time enough to hear what the Pope said, the Pope said

And just a few tiny little words later

Somebody wants the man dead, oh

What about famine and disease?

Well they said it's too bad, oops

Because I'm never alone it's not just a phone it's a stereo, oh

Twenty-first century life

I got swept away

I got twenty-one thousand things that I got to do today

Twenty-first century life

Well what can I say?

The new world got me feeling so dirty think I need to get down and play, oh

Oh, now I'm not a little boy

I'm in the twenty-first century

Well you might think we've come a really long way

But there's still no equality, ooh hey yeah

I watched the news on my computer screen talking about

Buying my weed out of a vending machine

You tell me I'm free but how can it be when you're always watching me on the CCTV

Twenty-first century life

I got swept away

I got twenty-one thousand things that I got to do today

Twenty-first century life

Ooh, what can I say?

The new world got me feeling so dirty think I need to get down and play, yeah

Ooh oh oh, twenty-one twenty-one, twenty-one

I'm talking about twenty-one twenty-one, twenty-one, oh
