Hooray for the 21st Century

Every sweet little lie, ever whispered to you now rings true 
  No need to wake the sleeping dogs when they'll just turn on you 
  I'll make my way instead to the foot of your ivory tower 
  But no love do I find there amongst the leaves and the dying flowers... 

  What be came of the love we knew? 
  Beat the swine black and blue 
  You and I and me and you 
  What became of the love we knew? 
  What became of the love we knew? 

  The Thames and The Mersey, The Tyne and The Wye and The Clyde 
  They spew slums like gravy on the banks of the poisonous tide 
  They washed up a pale thin girl alone in her ivory tower 
  Scratching her skin with the thorns that grow on the stems of the wild flowers 

  What became of the love we knew? 
  Beat the swing black and blue 
  You and I and me and you 
  What became of the love we knew? 
  What became of the working class? 
  Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Scratchcards, Pitbulls, Ecstasy 
  Hooray for the twenty first century 
  Hooray for the twenty first century 
  Hooray for the twenty first century 
  Hooray for the twenty first century 
  Hooray for the twenty first century 

  Living in a looking glass 
  As the beauty of life goes by 
  Your going to be old 
  Your going to be so old 
  Your skin's so cold 

  Hooray for the twenty first century
