Lyrics
21st Century Schizoid Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Cat's foot, iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door
Twenty first century schizoid man
Blood rack, barbed wire
Politicians' funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man
Death seed, blind man's greed
Poets' starving, children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man
