"21st Century Man" lyrics

"21st Century Man"

A penny in your pocket
Suitcase in your hand
They won't get you very far
Now you're a 21st-century man

Fly across the city
Rise above the land
You can do 'most anything
Now you're a 21st-century man

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow
(Tomorrow)
You still wander the fields of your sorrow
What will it bring?

One day, you're a hero
Next day, you're a clown
There's nothing that is in-between
Now you're a 21st-century man

You should be so happy
You should be so glad
So why are you so lonely
You 21st-century man?

You stepped out of a dream
Believing everything was gone
Return with what you've learned
They'll kiss the ground you walk upon

(21st-century man)

Things ain't how you thought they were
Nothing have you planned
So pick up your penny and your suitcase
You're not a 21st-century man

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow
(Tomorrow)
You still wander the fields of your sorrow
(Sorrow)
Tomorrow, 21st-century man

(21st-century man)
(21st-century man)
