21st Century (Digital Boy) (1990) Demo

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,
Symbolized bar code, quick i.d.,
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 is a lazy middle class intellectual,
My mommy's on valium, she's so ineffectual, ain't life a mystery?

I can't explain it, the things they're saying to me,
It's going yayayayayayaya,
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 is a lazy middle class intellectual,
My mommy's on valium, she's 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 live
But I've got a lot of toys,
My daddy is a lazy middle class intellectual,
My mommy's on valium, she's so ineffectual

(21st century digital boy)
Cat foot, iron claw
(21st century digital boy)
Neurosurgeons 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?
