this is the 21st century

  (...if you could only see what i've seen with your eyes)
  
  a wise man once said
  a flower is only
  a sexual organ
  beauty is cruelty
  and evolution
  a wise man once said
  that everything could be explained with mathematics
  he had denied
  his feminine side
  now where is the wisdom in that?
  
  i came just as fast as i could
  through the dirty air
  of your neighbourhood
  your name on a grain of rice
  hangin' around my neck
  and a head like lead
  
  this is the 21st century
  i heard everything they said
  the universe demystified
  chemicals for god
  this is the 21st century
  i heard everything they said
  
  a wise man once wrote
  that love is only
  an ancient instinct
  for reproduction
  natural selection
  a wise man once said
  that everything could be explained
  and it's all in the brain
  
  we lay on a velvet rug
  by the open fire
  she blew air on my eyelids
  i cried "what's it all about?"
  as she kissed my hair
  she said "there, there.."
  
  "this is the 21st century
  i heard everything you said
  the universe demystified
  astronomy instead
  this is the 21st century
  can't you get it through your head
  this aint the way it was meant to be
  magic isn't dead
  come to bed
  come to bed
  
  and rest your heavy head my love.."
  and slowly, from above,
  she showed the answer's something that can't be written down
  
  this is the 21st century
  flash to crash and burn
  nobody's gonna give you anything
  for nothing in return
  there's a man up in a mirrored building
  and he just bought the world
  
  would you want
  to have kids
  growing up
  into what's left of this?
  
  she shook her head,
  she said "can't you see?
  the world is you
  the world is me."
