《Twentieth Century Man》歌词

[00:00:00] Twentieth Century Man - The Kinks (奇想合唱团)

[00:00:42] This is the age of machinery

[00:00:45] A mechanical nightmare

[00:00:48] The wonderful world of technology

[00:00:52] Napalm hydrogen bombs biological warfare

[00:00:59] This is the twentieth century

[00:01:02] But too much aggravation

[00:01:06] It's the age of insanity

[00:01:09] What has become of the green pleasant fields of Jerusalem

[00:01:16] Ain't got no ambition I'm just disillusioned

[00:01:22] I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna don't wanna be here

[00:01:46] My mama said she can't understand me

[00:01:49] She can't see my motivation

[00:01:52] Just give me some security

[00:01:55] I'm a paranoid schizoid product of the twentieth century

[00:02:03] You keep all your smart modern writers

[00:02:05] Give me William Shakespeare

[00:02:09] You keep all your smart modern painters

[00:02:12] I'll take Rembrandt Titian Da Vinci and Gainsborough

[00:02:19] Girl we gotta get out of here

[00:02:23] We gotta find a solution

[00:02:25] I'm a twentieth century man but I don't want don't wanna to die here

[00:02:39] Girl we gotta get out of here

[00:02:42] We gotta find a solution

[00:02:45] I'm a twentieth century man but I don't want don't wanna to die here

[00:03:01] I was born in a welfare state

[00:03:05] Ruled by bureaucracy

[00:03:08] Controlled by civil servants

[00:03:12] And people dressed in grey

[00:03:15] Got no privacy got no liberty

[00:03:22] Cos the twentieth century people

[00:03:25] Took it all away from me

[00:03:55] Don't wanna get myself shot down

[00:03:58] By some trigger happy policeman

[00:04:01] Gotta keep a hold on my sanity

[00:04:04] I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here

[00:04:25] My mama says she can't understand me

[00:04:28] She can't see my motivation

[00:04:31] Ain't got no security

[00:04:34] I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here

[00:05:18] This is the twentieth century

[00:05:21] But too much aggravation

[00:05:24] This is the edge of insanity

[00:05:27] I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna be here
