John Taylor - 21st Century Teenager Lyrics

This ain't rock and roll!

Ladies and Gentlemen...
Go beyond the boundaries laid by Elvis
Go beyond the recipes of Clash
Usurp those strolling criminals of excess
Take the techno out of pop (and make it into rock)
See the weary traveller of Blade Runner
And introduce an element of thrash
Mix the bleeding ceremonies of power
March it coast to coast for one night stands

21st century teenager gets more for it's money
21st century teenager likes acid with it's ice
21st century teenager takes lessons how to fly
21st century teenager likes politics to fly

Angel came from heaven just to bring the mighty wah
Shake some awesome doodah in for spice
Build a citadel of TV tube and video
Ship the underground to the mainstream (the crossover)
I'll use this for religion if you don't mind
I need one badly & this one's right here
The open air cathedral of the media has come
Let's marvel at the megatomic bomb

21st century teenager gets more for it's money
21st century teenager likes acid with it's ice
21st century teenager takes lessons how to fly
21st century teenager likes politics to fly

It's the state of the art alright...
