21st Century Man Lyrics by Overkill

The Electric Age

2012

[Verse 1]
Suck it up, it's a new sensation
He's a twenty-first-century man
Hooked on into a new vibration
You can tell by his shaking hands

[Pre-Chorus]
He's waiting on the next war
Suitcase in his hand
Feeling his head throb
He lights up a flash mob

[Chorus]
Hey, damnation, watch him go now
A better battle plan
Hey, mutation, techno-freak house
Twenty-first-century man
Hey, damnation, in your face
He does the best he can
Hey, mutation, outer space for
Twenty-first-century man

[Verse 2]
Suck it up as the worlds collide
He's a twenty-first-century man
Living large, then he's cast aside
There's got to be a better plan, plan, plan

[Pre-Chorus]
Praying on the next war
IPhone in his hand
Feeling his heart jump
Turn up the heat pump

[Chorus]
Hey, damnation, watch him go now
A better battle plan
Hey, mutation, techno-freak house
Twenty-first-century man
Hey, damnation, in your face
He does the best he can
Hey, mutation, outer space for
Twenty-first-century man

[Post-Chorus]
Twenty-first-century man
Twenty-first-century man
Twenty-first-century man
Twenty-first-century man

[Bridge]
All the colors turn to gray
The innocence has gone away
Too much info here to stay
Twenty-first-century man

One, two, three, move!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
"Suck it up, and the masturbation"
Said the twenty-first-century man
Hooked on into a goodbye nation
You can tell by his futile hands

[Pre-Chorus]
Heading down the fast road
Limited attention span
Feeling his soul burn
Never did quite learn

[Chorus]
Hey, damnation, watch him go now
A better battle plan
Hey, mutation, techno-freak house
Twenty-first-century man
Hey, damnation, in your face
He does the best he can
Hey, mutation, outer space for
Twenty-first-century man

[Outro]
Twenty-first century man
