i’m robbing peter, i’m paying paul   i’m changing my name back to saul   i got to them and you know i’ll get to you      i’m turning shepherds into sheep   and leaders into celebrities   it’s holy sabotage, just look around you      chorus   ‘cause everything’s for sale in the 21st century   and the check is in the mail from the 21st century      don’t want the song i want a jingle   i love you Lord but don’t hear a single   and the truth is nearly impossible to rhyme      but i know the songs with all the hooks   and i know some lies that will sell some books   so grab ‘em fast, i’m running outta time      just keep selling truth in candy bars   on billboards and backs of cars   truth without context, my favorite of all my crimes      chorus      bridge   what works verses what's right   hey what's the difference tonight?      take out the sign, forget the meal   we’ve got a gym and a ferris wheel   i swear it's just like the country club down the block      ‘cause you can make your life look good   you can do what Jesus would   but you’d be surprised what you can do with a hard heart      chorus      tag   i think you’ve got trouble in the 21st century   so welcome to the struggle, it’s the 21st century   i never thought i’d make it to the 21st century   Lord, i love the 21st century      i write these words from the grave   ‘cause it’s the only place that i’m safe   and only the dead are permitted to speak the truth
