Lyrics:
“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)

Lyrics:
Blinded by science, I’m on the run
Blinded by science, where do I belong?
What’s in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I’m on the run
I worry ’bout the world that we live in
I’m worried by all the confusion
I wonder ’bout the lies I’ve been reading
I wonder where this madness is leading
Is this a road going nowhere?
Or is someone leading us somewhere?
I can’t believe we’re here for no reason
There must be something we can believe in
Blinded by science, I’m on the run
I’m not an appliance, so don’t turn me on
What’s in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I’m on the run
What’s in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I’m on the run
I worry ’bout the world that we live in
I’m worried by all the confusion
I wonder ’bout the lies I’ve been reading
I wonder where this madness is leading
