Marillion - This Is The 21St Century lyrics
Lyrics: Hogarth
 Music: Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas
 (...If you could only see what I've seen with your eyes)
 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 neighbourhood
 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
 Marillion - This Is The 21St Century - http://motolyrics.com/marillion/this-is-the-21st-century-lyrics.html
 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 aint 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."
