21st Century Blues Lyrics - The Low Highway [cd/dvd Deluxe] - Steve Earle

Here I am in the 21st century 

I have to say it ain't as cool as I hoped it would be 

No man on the moon, nobody on Mars 

Where the hell is my flying car? 

Ain't nothing even like a teletransporter so far 

It's hard times in the new millenium 

Gettin' by on just the bare minimum 

Everything to lose and nothing to spare 

Going to hell and nobody cares 

Ain't the future that Kennedy promised me 

In the 21st century

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

Finally come to the age of Aquarius 

And if we live through the Mayan apocalypse 

There'll be pie in the sky above lemonade springs 

A goddamn American utopian dream 

If you believe that then you're more optimistic than me 

Lights out in the heart of America 

No love in a time of hysteria 

It's head for the hills, every man for himself 

Nobody helping out nobody else 

Ain't the way that the Maharishi said it would be 

In the 21st century 

Pray for guidance, beg forgiveness 

Vote for change and hope they find this 

Only thing I know for sure is: 

We stand now on the verge of history 

The world can be anything that we want it to be 

Photos 

Where there's a will, there's a way 

When there's a fire, there's a spark 

Out in the streets, downtown in the park 

Baby, the future's just waitin' on you and me 

In the 21st century 

In the 21st century
