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
