Steve Earle - 21st Century Blues lyrics

Here I am in the 21st century
I have to say it ain't as cool
As I hoped it would be
No man on the moon, nobody on Mars
Where the hell is my flying car?
Ain't nothing even like a
Teletransporter so far
It's hard times in the new millennium
Getting by on just the bare minimum
Everything to lose and nothing to spare
Going to hell and nobody cares
Ain't the future that Kennedy promised me
In the 21st century
Finally come to the Age of Aquarius
And if we live through the Mayan apocalypse
There'll be pie in the
Sky above Lemonade Springs
A god damn American utopian dream
If you believe that
Then you're more optimistic than me
Lights out in the heart of America
No love in a time of hysteria
It's head for the hills
Every man for himself
Nobody helping out nobody else
Ain't the way that the Maharishi
Said it would be in the 21st century

Pray for guidance, beg forgiveness
Vote for change and hope they find this
Only thing I know for sure is

We stand now on the verge of history
The world can be anything that
We want it to be
Where there's a will, there's a way
When there's a fire, there's a spark
Out in the streets, downtown in the park
Baby, the future's just waiting on you and me
In the 21st century in the 21st century
