21st Century Life (Steve Mac remix) - 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 had imagined

It was totally confounding

Hey-ohhh

21st century life

I got swept away

I got 21, 000 things that I got to do today

21st century life

Well what can I say?

The new world's 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, Pope said

And just a few tiny words later

Somebody wants the man dead, oh

Well what about famine and disease

Well they said its too bad (oops)

Because Im never alone

Its not just a phone

Its a stereo

Hey-ohhh

21st century life

I got swept away

I got 21, 000 things that I got to do today

21st century life

What can I say?

The new world's got me feeling so dirty

Think I need to get down and play

Now Im not a little boy

Im in the 21st century

Well you might think weve come a really long way, but theres still no equality

Mmm hey hey

I watched the news on my computer screen

Talkin' 'bout buying my weed out of a vending machine

You tell me Im free

Well how can that be

When you're always watching me on the CCTV?

21st century life

I got swept away

I got 21, 000 things that I got to do today

21st century life

What can I say?

The new world's got me feeling so dirty

Think I need to get down and play
