(...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."
