This Is The 21st Century Lyrics - Marillion

(...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 ain't 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."
