Lyrics for 20th Century Man by Kinks:
| | | Artist: | Kinks |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | 20th Century Man | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 153 | | | | Lyrics: | This is the age of machinery,
A mechanical nightmare,
The wonderful world of technology,
Napalm hydrogen bombs biological warfare,
This is the twentieth century,
But too
much aggravation
It's the age of insanity,
What has become of the green pleasant fields of
Jerusalem.
Ain't got no ambition, I'm just disillusioned
I'm a twentieth century man
but I don't wanna be here.
My mama said she can't understand me
She can't see my
motivation
Just give me some security,
I'm a paranoid schizoid product of the twentieth
century.
You keep all your smart modern writers
Give me William Shakespeare
You
keep all your smart modern painters
I'll take Rembrandt, Titian, Da Vinci and Gainsborough,
Girl we gotta get out of here
We gotta find a solution
I'm a twentieth century
man but I don't want to die here.
I was born in a welfare state
Ruled by bureaucracy
Controlled by civil servants
And people dressed in grey
Got no privacy got no liberty
Cos the twentieth century people
Took it all away from me.
Don't wanna get
myself shot down
By some trigger happy policeman,
Gotta keep a hold on my sanity
I'm
a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here.
My mama says she can't understand me
She can't see my motivation
Ain't got no security,
I'm a twentieth century man but I
don't wanna be here.
This is the twentieth century
But too much aggravation
This
is the edge of insanity
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna be here | | | |
