20th Century Man (Live at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, March 1979)

20th Century Man (Live) - The Kinks

Written by：Raymond Douglas Davies

Producer：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

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

She 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 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 to be here

I'm a twentieth century man

I'm a twentieth century man

I'm a twentieth century man

I'm a twentieth century man

I'm a twentieth century man

I'm a twentieth century man

I'm a twentieth century man

I'm a twentieth century man

I'm a twentieth century man

I'm a twentieth century man

I'm a 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'm a twentieth century man

I'm a twentieth century man
