[Verse 1]
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
Civilized bar code, quick ID, oh yeah

[Chorus]
'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

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
I can't explain it, the things you're saying to me
It's going yayayayayayaya, oh yeah

[Chorus]
'Cause 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
Ain't life a mystery? Yeah
