Lyrics: Hogarth
Music: Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas
...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 Therethere..
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 slowlyfrom 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.
