21st Century Man Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

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 

What will it bring? 

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 

21st century man 

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 

Tomorrow, 21st century man 

21st century man 

21st century man
