21st Century Lyrics - Singles - Plunkett

I fell out kicking screaming 

Three quarters through the twentieth century 

Into warm hands that cured me so well 

Curiosity helped with learning 

And teachers tried to educate me 

All is well I'm lucky don't you know 

Then I nine to fived in a factory 

To pay your way you have to earn it 

I started getting doubts around that time 

But progress keeps on thriving 

And hopes are high for the twenty first century 

We're closer now and lucky don't you know 

Then I look around me 

And wonder where I fit in 

With all this sick delusion 

I think I thought something then 

Should I just let it go or use it 

I don't ask much 

I just want back what's mine 

Help me find a place inside 

I won't ask much 

Just let me use what's mine 

Feed me and I'll open wide 

Possessions make for happy 

And it's extra sweet if the taste's aesthetic 

You can let them know with just a simple sign 

Gone are days of fixing 

And anyway you want the next thing 

Don't know why but you need it all the same 

Then I watch the TV 

And I see where it begins 

Our heads spun bland confusion 

I think I thought something then 

Should I just let it go or use it 

Hey, it's worse than I thought 

These fuckers don't rest 

Nothing is sacred anymore 

It seeps when you wake 

It eats while you sleep 

Perhaps it's time I started 

Kicking and screaming again
