21st Century Man - Electric Light Orchestra (Time 1981)

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 You still wander the fields of your sorrow 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. 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 You still wander the fields of your sorrow 21st century man Songwriters: Jeff Lynne
