Twentieth Century Man - The Kinks (奇想合唱团)[00:00:00]
This is the age of machinery[00:00:42]
A mechanical nightmare[00:00:45]
The wonderful world of technology[00:00:48]
Napalm hydrogen bombs biological warfare[00:00:52]
This is the twentieth century[00:00:59]
But too much aggravation[00:01:02]
It's the age of insanity[00:01:06]
What has become of the green pleasant fields of Jerusalem[00:01:09]
Ain't got no ambition I'm just disillusioned[00:01:16]
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna don't wanna be here[00:01:22]
My mama said she can't understand me[00:01:46]
She can't see my motivation[00:01:49]
Just give me some security[00:01:52]
I'm a paranoid schizoid product of the twentieth century[00:01:55]
You keep all your smart modern writers[00:02:03]
Give me William Shakespeare[00:02:05]
You keep all your smart modern painters[00:02:09]
I'll take Rembrandt Titian Da Vinci and Gainsborough[00:02:12]
Girl we gotta get out of here[00:02:19]
We gotta find a solution[00:02:23]
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't want don't wanna to die here[00:02:25]
Girl we gotta get out of here[00:02:39]
We gotta find a solution[00:02:42]
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't want don't wanna to die here[00:02:45]
I was born in a welfare state[00:03:01]
Ruled by bureaucracy[00:03:05]
Controlled by civil servants[00:03:08]
And people dressed in grey[00:03:12]
Got no privacy got no liberty[00:03:15]
Cos the twentieth century people[00:03:22]
Took it all away from me[00:03:25]
Don't wanna get myself shot down[00:03:55]
By some trigger happy policeman[00:03:58]
Gotta keep a hold on my sanity[00:04:01]
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here[00:04:04]
My mama says she can't understand me[00:04:25]
She can't see my motivation[00:04:28]
Ain't got no security[00:04:31]
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here[00:04:34]
This is the twentieth century[00:05:18]
But too much aggravation[00:05:21]
This is the edge of insanity[00:05:24]
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna be here[00:05:27]
