the kinks – 20th century man (2022 remaster) lyrics
[verse 1]
this is the age of machinery
a mechanical nightmare
the wonderful world of technology
napalm, hydrogen bombs, biological warfare
[verse 2]
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
[chorus 1]
ain’t got no ambition, i’m just disillusioned
i’m a twentieth+century man but i don’t want, i don’t wanna be here
[verse 3]
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
[verse 4]
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
[chorus 2]
girl, we gotta get out of here
we gotta find a solution
i’m a twentieth+century man but i don’t want, i don’t want to die here
girl, we gotta get out of here
we gotta find a solution
i’m a twentieth+century man but i don’t want, i don’t want to be here
[bridge]
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
’cause the twentieth+century people
took it all away from me
[chorus 3]
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
[chorus 4]
my mama says she can’t understand me
she can’t see my motivation
ain’t got no security
i’m a twentieth+century man but i don’t wanna die here
[bridge]
i don’t want twentieth+century, man
no more twentieth+century man
i don’t want twentieth+century, man
[chorus 5]
this is the twentieth century
but too much aggravation
this is the edge of insanity
i’m a twentieth+century man but i don’t wanna be here
