21st Century Songtext
von The Syn

Here, where once a castle stood

Where once an angel cried
The evil and the good
Turned out to be a lie

I walked on broken glass
And laid in beds of nails
And fought in the great wars
And lived to tell the tales
And taken in these hands
All creatures great and small
And watched the mighty rise
And watched the mighty fall

In the 21st Century
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
The 21st Century

Here, where once I was a boy


Standing on a hill
Gazing at the stars
Wondering if they were real
I′ve seen the Northern Lights
And watched the southern cross

I've played with loaded dice
I′ve won and yes, I've lost
And taken in these hands
All creatures great and small
And watched the mighty rise
And watched the mighty fall

Yeah yeah yeah
In the 21st Century
Yeah yeah
This is the 21st Century
In the 21st Century
This is the 21st Century
Yeah yeah


From the New York Turnpike
To the Golden Gate
Right across the prairie
To the frozen lakes
From the streets of London
To the palaces of Rome
This is our time
This is our home
It's the 21st Century

Here, where once there was a king
But now he′s lost his crown
He thought he was a god
He was just a circus clown
Put guns in boys′ hands
And sent them off to war
To fight in foreign lands
Or were they fighting for?
But now they realize

The glory and the pain
And now they understand
They won't get fooled again

No no no
They won′t get fooled again
No no no no no no
In the 21st Century
Yeah yeah
This is the 21st Century
Yeah yeah
In the 21st Century
This is the 21st Century
Yeah yeah

Well I don't know you
And you don′t know me
We want the same things
We just want to be free
Too much to ask for our liberty
To be the people that we want to be
Do the things that we want to do
Follow the flight of a dove
Speak the language that we all understand
The language of love

In the 21st Century
Yeah yeah yeah
This is the 21st Century
Yeah yeah
In the 21st Century

Oh yeah
This is the 21st Century
This is the 21st Century
Yeah yeah
