20th Century Man

So this is it
This is what he's worked his life for
And he looks around
At what his hands have made
A family and possessions
And he feels so self-assured
It won't even cross his mind
There's a chance it all could fade

He's a 20th, 20th century man
Fighting to believe
He's the one who's in control
He's a 20th, 20th century man
Look how far he's come
See how far he has to go

Late at night
His mind goes back to childhood
When right and wrong
Were clear as black and white
But greed can grab a chokehold
On an unsuspecting heart
And pride becomes a blindness
Shutting out the brightest light

He's a 20th, 20th century man
Fighting to believe
He can make it on his own
He's a 20th, 20th century man
Look how far he's come
See how far he has to go, oh...

He's a 20th, 20th century man
Fighting to believe
He's the one who's in control
He's a 20th, 20th century man
Look how far he's come
See how far he has

He's a 20th, 20th century man
Fighting to believe
He can make it on his own
He's a 20th, 20th century man
Look how far he's come
See how far he has...
