21st Century (Digital Boy) Lyrics by Bad Religion

Decades: Filmed Live at the Roxy

1990

[Verse 1]
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 ID, oh yeah
[Chorus]
'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?
[Verse 3]
I can't explain it
The things you're saying to me
It's going ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya, oh yeah
[Chorus]
'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?
[Bridge]
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?
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
See, 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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Outro]
21st century schizoid boy
21st century video boy
21st century digital boy
21st century sofa boy...
