Lyrics
21st 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.
Oh, it's so tired
This social mutation
Solving everything at the end of a gun
Can we spill the blood
From all this hatred
And pass the point of no return
Cause, I know
There's gonna be some changes, changes
From the wake of our time - I wanna be
there
Maybe in the 21st century
We can live life like it ought to be - in our
time
Been torn down
Convicted & lied to
Breeding ignorance to make the same
mistakes
Well, it's past time
To make the right moves
Take a chance & a leap of faith
Cause, I know
We've got the means to change it, change
The fate of our time - I wanna be there
Well, maybe in the 21st century
We can make it better than it used to be - in our time
Maybe in the 21st century
We can live life as it ought to be - in our minds
Well it's our time
To stop the madness
And take the rap for our own mistakes
Cause, I know
There's gonna be some changes, changes
From the wake of our time
Oh, stop the madness
This cycle of rage
There must be a new way
Well, maybe in the 21st century
We can live life as it ought to be - in our minds
Maybe in the 21st century
We can make it better than it used to be - in our time
Maybe in the 21st century
We can be everything we ought to be - in our minds
