21st Century Man

Welcome to the age of the expert
And someone else’s problems
Where learning is a lecture
And friendship is a follow
Where function follows form
And the cart pulls the horse
Where all is fair in love
And all is fair in war

If I knew what to say I’d scream it
If I knew what to do I’d mean it
If the people agreed I could please ‘em
I’m just making the world that I’ll leave ‘em

Well nobody’s kidding
Until someone is upset
And nobody’s sorry
Until they’re shamed into it
Where justice isn’t blind
She ain’t covering her eyes
That ain’t her there taking bribes
Nah, that ain’t her

If I knew what to say I’d scream it
If I knew what to do I’d mean it
If the people agreed I could please ‘em
I’m just making the world that I’ll leave ‘em

Just do what floats your lifeboat
Whatever gets you by
Ain’t we content to just survive
Ain’t we sinking in our pride

If I knew what to say I’d scream it
If I knew what to do I’d mean it
If the people agreed I could please ‘em
I’m just making the world that I’ll leave ‘em

If I knew what to say I’d scream it
If I knew what to do I’d mean it
If the people agreed I could please ‘em
I’m just making the world that I’ll leave ‘em
