Poisoned Electrick Head - 20th Century Man, President's Reply
00
Copied!
Give me your attention for a while
Should disappointment be allowed to smile
Tell me of your wildest dream
Is it as big as the one I've seen
Twentieth century man, yeah
Twentieth century man, yeah
Woah!

Twentieth century man, yeah
Twentieth century man, yeah
Woah!
You wanna be 21?
(?...) naughty boy
You've got some time
Too many people and not enough share
Too many people because too few care
And for the first time in this place
We look our future death right in the face
Twentieth century man, yeah
Twentieth century man, yeah
Woah!
You wanna be 21?
(?...) naughty boy
I ain't no wish to die
They say that the judgement day will come
But we judge ourselves we're our own book
And if emotion is put down to be fear
Then I fear ignorance, decisions unclear
Twentieth century man, yeah
Twentieth century man, yeah
Woah!
You wanna be 21?

Twentieth century man, yeah

Woah!
You wanna be 21?!

{Spoken} Ladies and gentlemen of the press, please keep calm. The President will be here momentarily to answer all your questions. Here he is now
{Unclear sampled speech}
The Devil takes his goggles out
He turns his back on a world
That turned his evil sour
The last domino falls
The hotline breaks
I only have time
To run another mile
Technology was bought
By the people with power
Take the strain out of life
Protect what I have gained
Too much reliance
On machines that failed
Man built the coffin
Computer hammers home the final nail
Civilisation stood still, standing on its grave
Washington replies an emphatic phrase
The President expires under secret deals
Russian tanks burn the soil
Eyescorching flash, can't see a damned thing
Earth shudders, now I feel the wind
Mankind's next step sends him stumbling, falling to his end
Flying glass lascerates my face
My clothes melt burn stick to my skin
I have no body all I feel is pain
As my blood expands to burst my brain
Sizzling heat licks my scream-filled ears
So intense that it boils my fears
I haven't even time to go insane as my life evaporates
Wooa-ohhh
Wooa-ohhh
It's going wrong
You're going wrong
21, 21, 21
21, 21, 21
21, 21, 21
21, 21, 21
Woah-woo!
Give me your attention once again
Should disappointment tread all over this land
Things ain't what they are, they're the way they're percieved
We've got to have the truth before we believe
Twentieth century man, yeah
Twentieth century man, yeah
Woah!
You wanna be 21?!
