20th Century Man [Live]

Ray Davies

This is for all the imaginary heroes
From Muswell Hillbillies
20th Century Man

This is the age of machinery
A mechanical nightmare
The wonderful world of technology
Napalm hydrogen bombs biological warfare

This is the twentieth century
But too much aggravation
It's the age of insanity
What has become of the green pleasant fields of Jerusalem

Ain't got no ambition
I'm just disillusioned
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't want (don't want, don't want, don't want)
I don't want to be here

You keep all your smart modern writers
Give me William Shakespeare
You keep all your smart modern painters
I'll take Rembrandt, Titian, Da Vinci and Gainsborough

My mama said she can't understand me
Can't see my motivation
Just give me some security
I'm a paranoid schizoid product of the twentieth century

Girl we gotta get out of here
We gotta find a solution
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't want (don't want, don't want, don't want)
I don't want to die here

Girl, we gotta get out of here
We gotta find a solution
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't want (don't want, don't want, don't want)
I don't want to be here

I don't want twentieth century, man
I don't want twentieth century, man
I don't want twentieth century, man
I don't want twentieth century, man
I don't want twentieth century, man
I don't want twentieth century, man
I don't want twentieth century, man
I don't want twentieth century, man
I don't want twentieth century, man
I don't want twentieth century, man
I don't want twentieth century, man

This is the twentieth century
But too much aggravation
This is the edge of insanity
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't want to be here

I don't want twentieth century, man
I don't want twentieth century, man
