Electric Light Orchestra
21st Century Man
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
A penny in your pocket
Suitcase in your hand
They won't get you very far
Now you're a 21st century man
[Verse 2]
Fly across the city
Rise above the land
You can do 'most anything
Now you're a 21st century man
[Chorus]
Though you ride on the wheels
Of tomorrow (Tomorrow)
You still wander the fields
Of your sorrow
What will it bring?
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
You should be so happy
You should be so glad
So why are you so lonely
You 21st century man?
[Alternate Chorus]
You stepped out of a dream
Believing everything was gone
Return with what you've learned
They'll kiss the ground you walk upon
[Guitar Solo]
(21st century man)
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
Though you ride on the wheels
Of tomorrow (Tomorrow)
You still wander the fields
Of your sorrow (Sorrow)
Tomorrow, 21st century man
[Outro]
