I can't believe it the way you look sometimes

Like a trampled flag on a city street oh yeah

And I don't want it the things you're offering me

Symbolized bar code quick I D oh yeah

'Cause I'm a 21st century digital boy

I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys

My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual

My mommy's on Valium so ineffectual

Ain't life a mystery yeah

I can't explain it

The things they're saying to me

It's going yah yah yah yah yah yah yah

Oh yeah

'Cause I'm a 21st century digital boy

I don't know how to read but I got a lot of toys

My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual

My mommy's on Valium so ineffectual

Ain't life a mystery yeah

Tried to tell you about No Control

But now I really don't know

And then you told me how bad you had to Suffer

Is that really all you had to offer

See I'm a 21st century digital boy

I don't know how to read but I've got a lot of toys

My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual

My mommy's on Valium so ineffectual

Cat's foot iron claw

Neuro surgeons scream for more

Innocents raped with napalm fire

Everything I want I really need

Ain't life a mystery yeah
