Paroles de My Twentieth Century

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.
