Текст песни: 21st Century Blues + перевод

Here I am in the 21st century

I have to say it ain’t as cool as I hoped it would be

No man on the moon, nobody on Mars

Where the hell is my flying car?

Ain’t nothing even like a teletransporter so far

It’s hard times in the new millenium

Gettin' by on just the bare minimum

Everything to lose and nothing to spare

Going to hell and nobody cares

Ain’t the future that Kennedy promised me

In the 21st century

Finally come to the age of Aquarius

And if we live through the Mayan apocalypse

There’ll be pie in the sky above lemonade springs

A goddamn American utopian dream

If you believe that then you’re more optimistic than me

Lights out in the heart of America

No love in a time of hysteria

It’s head for the hills, every man for himself

Nobody helping out nobody else

Ain’t the way that the Maharishi said it would be

In the 21st century

Pray for guidance, beg forgiveness

Vote for change and hope they find this

Only thing I know for sure is:

We stand now on the verge of history

The world can be anything that we want it to be

Where there’s a will, there’s a way

When there’s a fire, there’s a spark

Out in the streets, downtown in the park

Baby, the future’s just waitin' on you and me

In the 21st century

In the 21st century
