I can't believe it,
the way you look sometimes,
like a trampled flag on a city street.
Oh yeh.

And I don't want it,
the things you're offering me,
symilized barcode, quick I.D.
Oh yeh.

'Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy,
I don't know how to live, but i've got a lot of toys.
My Daddy's a lazy middle-class intellectual,
my Mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual.
Ain't life a mystery?
Yeh.

I can't explain it,
the things you're saying to me.
It's going, "yah yah yah yah yah yah yah."
Oh yeh.

Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy.
I don't know how to read but i got a lot of toys.
My Daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual,
my Mommy's on Valium so ineffectual.
Ain't life a mystery?
Yeh.

I tried to tell you about no control,
but now I really don't know,
and then you told me how bad you had to suffer.
Is that all you really had to offer?

'Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to live, but I've got a lot of toys.
My Daddy's a lazy, middle-class intellectual,
my Mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual.

21st century digital boy...
21st century digital boy...
21st century digital boy...

"Everything I want I really don't need."
Ain't life a mystery?
Yeh.
