21st Century Blues

Used to be you could trust what you heard

The channels were three

When news didn't seem so absurd

The words set you free

Now they tell you what to think

And that the sky is green

Am I the only one to see that it's a big machine

Someone tell me...

How can we believe the world is round

(I just can't conceive it)

All we see and hear the truth has drown

(It's all but disappeared)

How can we believe the world is round

(It's hard to perceive it)

Shake your head and scream but there's no sound

(We've got the 21st Century Blues)

Now here and now everything's upside down

It's all a big lie

Some with suits will shoot up the town

They won't be denied

How many people got to die before we lend a hand

I can see myself living in their promised land

Someone help me

How can we believe the world is round

(I just can't conceive it)

All we see and hear the truth has drown

(It's all but disappeared)

How can we believe the world is round

(It's hard to perceive it)

Shake your head and scream but there's no sound

(We've got the 21st Century Blues)

Now they tell you what to think and that the sky is green

Am I the only one to see that it's a big machine

How can we believe the world is round

(I just can't conceive it)

All we see and hear the truth has drown

(It's all but disappeared)

How can we believe the world is round

(It's hard to perceive it)

Shake your head and scream but there's no sound

(We've got the 21st Century Blues)
