[Verse]
 
          D        F  G  Bb A
I can't believe it,
    D       F        G      Bb
the way you look sometimes,
A      D        F         C    G
like a trampled flag on a city street,
   D    F   A N.C.
oh yeah
 
            D       F  G  Bb A
and I don't want it,
    D             F        G  Bb A
the things you're offering me,
D          F        C      G
symbolized barcode, quick ID,
   D    F   A
oh yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             Dm   Bb      F       C
'Cause I'm a 21st century digital boy
  Dm                Bb          F            C
I don't know how to live, but I got a lot of toys
   Dm        Bb          F          G
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
   Dm         Bb            F      G     A
My mommy's on valium, she's so ineffectual
 
Ain't life a mystery?

[Verse]
 
          D        F  G  Bb A
I can't explain it,
    D             F         G  Bb
the things you're saying to me,
     A     Dm  F   C   G
it's going yayayayayayaya,
   Dm   F   A
oh yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             Dm   Bb      F       C
'Cause I'm a 21st century digital boy
  Dm                Bb          F            C
I don't know how to read, but I got a lot of toys
   Dm        Bb          F          G
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
   Dm         Bb            F      G     A
My mommy's on valium, she's so ineffectual
 
Ain't life a mystery?
 
 
[Bridge]
 
C
  I tried to tell you about no control,
G
  but now I really don't know,
Bb                         F
  and then you told me how bad you had to suffer,
A
  is that really all you have to offer?

'Cause I'm a 21st century digital boy
  Dm                Bb          F            C
I don't know how to live, but I got a lot of toys
   Dm        Bb          F          G
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
   Dm         Bb            F      G
