Standing on the edge of time
And the mountains fell into the sea
I never thought it would be this way
It was only yesterday
I heard somebody say to me
I'm a 21st Century Man
Planet Earth is where I stand
My name is shifting in the sands
Of ancient history
And on the night when the sky came down
We had to move it underground
But if I can't take it, no one can
I'm a 21st Century Man
No place when worlds collide
Planetary suicide
I can tell a nightmare from a dream
Is this some karmic fate?
Or Darwin's last mistake
His misery loves company
I'm a 21st Century Man
Planet Earth is where I stand
My name is shifting in the sands
Of ancient history
And on the night when the sky came down
We had to move it underground
But if I can't take it, no one can
I'm a 21st Century Man
I'm a 21st Century Man
I'm a 21st Century Man
Planet Earth is where I stand
My name is shifting in the sands
Of ancient history
And on the night when the sky came down
We had to move it underground
But if I can't take it, no one can
I'm a 21st Century Man
I'm a 21st Century Man
I'm a 21st Century
21st Century
21st Century Man
