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 neighborhood   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, "There, there"      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 ain't 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 slowly from 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"
