Lyrics
I Prefer The Twentieth Century
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.
I'm not typically one to rush to judgement
But I'm having difficulty dealing with adjustment
I suppose that I'll get used to it eventually
But so far I prefer the twentieth century
Even when the evenings aren't so shitty
I can't see any stars because I'm too close to the city
True, I'm looking forward to the advent of space tourism
But for now I'm merely bored
And as a matter of fact, who isn't?
I know the picture that I paint is none too pretty
Self-portrait, up to elbows in self-pity
