My Twentieth Century Lyrics

My Twentieth Century lyrics

i woke up this morning,



 dreading the thoughts of another, dull and boring day



 hey! woe is me.



 i go out on the streets, northside of the city



 i see the steel, the fading rust



 and the fields i used to play in....



 my friends are famous and all my foes live happy



 loved by lycra, fooled by velcro



 and fucked by what they need.... 



 



 but who am i to criticise? my pointing finger backfires



 i hang my head down low. 



 



 i once believed in jesus,



 now i can't believe in rock 'n' roll



 from baptism to alcohol, in a land suffocatingly green



 hey! the myth is magic, do you know what i mean?



 the politics of sin and of sex



 suffer the fools, pawn our jewels, will it ever change? 



 



 but who am i to criticise? i've made my bed, i lie on it



 and hold my head up high 



 



 my disbelief. my fake redemption.



 my twentieth century.



 my holy war. my self indulgence.



 my twentieth century.



 my human flesh. my sad dependence. 



 my twentieth century.



 my apathy. my big decision.



 my twentieth century.
