作词 : Raymond Douglas Davies 作曲 : Raymond Douglas Davies 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, I don't wanna be here
My mama said she can't understand me She can't see my motivation Just give me some security I'm a paranoid schizoid product of the twentieth century 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 Girl, we gotta get out of here We gotta find a solution I'm a twentieth century man but I 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, I don't want to be here
I was born in a welfare state Ruled by bureaucracy Controlled by civil servants And people dressed in grey Got no privacy, got no liberty 'Cause the twentieth century people Took it all away from me
Don't wanna get myself shot down By some trigger happy policeman Gotta keep a hold on my sanity I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here My mama says she can't understand me She can't see my motivation Ain't got no security I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here I don't want twentieth century, man No more 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 wanna be here
