[Verse 1]
I can't believe it

Like a trampled flag on a city street, oh yeah
And I don't want it
The things you're offering me
Symbolized bar code, quick ID, oh yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a 21st Century Digital Boy

It's going ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya, oh yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a 21st Century Digital Boy
I don't know how to read, but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual
Ain't life a mystery, yeah?

But now I really don't know

[Chorus]
See, I'm a 21st Century Digital Boy
I don't know how to read but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual
[Post-Chorus]
Cat's foot, iron claw
(21st century digital boy)
Neurosurgeon, scream for more
(21st century digital boy)
Innocence raped with napalm fire
(21st century digital boy)
Everything I want, I really need
[Outro]
21st century schizoid boy
21st century video boy
21st century digital boy
21st century sofa boy...
