The 21st century has started today
Oh! What a start!
You saw that man that started flying
He was flying down
I stared at the bottom of my television
He passed that bar and I could not see him anymore.

The 20th century has ended many years ago
I was a young man then.
Borrowed time. Lived on that time in between
After the time of the camps
Before the time of the collapsing buildings
Now I live again.

May you live in interesting times
He was Chinese and thought to be cursing
Now we know he was. Or maybe not
42 Inches. Wide screen. Vivid colors.
It makes those reds and blacks so beautiful
I met a beautiful girl. Where is she?

Time is a gentle deity
He was Greek and thought to be playful
You were wrong old man. Time is a wild beast
My color TV, CD player, fax, personal computer,
video and Internet. Beasts of my time
I could give them all but the Internet.
