I'm a 20th century man but I don't want to be here.

Posted on 11/24/2012 8:11:00 PM PST by Zeneta

This is the age of machinery, A mechanical nightmare, The wonderful world of technology, Napalm, hydrogen bombs, biological warfare,

This is the twentieth century, But too much aggravation It's the age of insanity, What has become of the green pleasant fields of Jerusalem.

Ain't got no ambition, I'm just disillusioned I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna be here. My mama said she can't understand me She can't see my motivation Just give me some security, I'm a paranoid schizoid product of the twentieth century.

You keep all your smart modern writers Give me William Shakespeare You keep all your smart modern painters I'll take Rembrandt, Titian, Da Vinci and Gainsborough,

Girl we gotta get out of here We gotta find a solution I'm a twentieth century man but I don't want to die here.

I was born in a welfare state Ruled by bureaucracy Controlled by civil servants And people dressed in grey Got no privacy, got no liberty Cos the twentieth century people Took it all away from me.

Don't wanna get myself shot down By some trigger happy policeman, Gotta keep a hold on my sanity I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here.

I am a twenty first century man myself. If I wasn’t here it wouldn’t be now.

I still watch a 1982 Zenith TV, been using it everyday for the last 30 years. B-) I even hooked a Blu-Ray to it, so I do have a small toe-hold in the 21st Century, but I hear ya. B-)

Well, one thing the 20th Century is superior to this one is in that century, we put a man on the Moon. If we had yo get to the Moon right away, we don't have that ability anymore, in some ways, what we had in 1970 is ahead of us today.
