Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

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 i.d.,

oh yeah

Chorus

I'm a 21st century digital boy,

I don't know how to live, but I've got a lot of toys,

my daddy is a lazy middle class intellectual,

my mommy's on valium, she's so ineffectual,

ain't life a mystery?

Verse 2

I can't explain it,

the things they're saying to me,

it's going yayayayayayaya,

oh yeah,

Chorus

I'm a 21st century digital boy,

I don't know how to live, but I've got a lot of toys,

my daddy is a lazy middle class intellectual,

my mommy's on valium, she's so ineffectual,

ain't life a mystery?

Bridge

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?

(Solo)

Chorus x2

this is not 100% - it's hard!)

Get front iron claw

no censure, scream for more

Innocence's raped with napalm fire

Everything I want, I really need

Ain't life a mystery
