I can't believe it,

The way you look sometimes,

Like a trampled flag on a city street,

Oh yeah,

And I don't want it,

The things you're offering me,

Symbolized bar code quick id,

Oh yeah,

I'm a 21st century digital boy,

I don't know how to live (or read)

But I've got a lot of toys,

My daddy is lazy middle class intellectual,

My mommy's on valium,

She's so ineffectual,

Ain't life a mystery?

I can't explain it,

The things they're saying to me,

Going yayayayayayaya,

Oh yeah,

I tried to tell you about no control,

But now I really don't know,

And then you told me how bad you had to suffer,

Is that really all you have to offer?
