21st Century

[Verse 1]
I want a serious job
I want a pile of dope
I want a girl with a pen who's taking notes on the phone
I want a clearer head
I just don't want that yet

I want a good night of sleep
I want the six am news
I wanna go out at night and be in bed before two
I want some piece and quiet
I just don't want that yet

[Chorus]
Because sometime in the future I'll be doing something else
With my own mind and my time
We'll be talking 'bout my wild side
Baby getting by in the first few years
Of the 21st century yеah

[Verse 2]
I want a comfortable chair
I want a big dollar ring
I want the living room life without thе living room things
I want precision and power
I just don't want them now

I want a lifetime supply
Full of invention and drive
And I wanna be known for my particular style
And I should [?]
I just don't want to now

[Chorus]
Because sometime in the future I'll be doing something else
With my own mind and my time
We'll be talking 'bout my wild side
Baby getting by in the first few years
Of the 21st century

[Bridge]
One day in the new 50's
I'll be there
[?] half of the century
Oh I'll be there
Yeah I know I'll be thinking what I could have been thinking when I was there
I've got to get out and do it all now for my future self cause I'll be there
I know I'll be there

[Chorus]
Because sometime in the future I'll be doing something else
With my own mind and my time
We'll be talking 'bout my wild side
Baby getting by in the first few years
Of the 21st century

[Outro]
I'll be doing something else with my time
I'll be talking by my wild side
In the first few years
Of the 21st century
