Lyrics

BACK IN HIS YOUTH, HE WAS TOLD WHAT A WOMAN WANTS,
SO HE?D GIVE HER JUST WHAT SHE WANT, A YOUNG MAN WITH NO PLAN...
YEAH SHE WAS TOLD THAT SHE COULD BE WHAT SHE WANNA BE,
ANYBODY COULD BE SET FREE, BOTH WOMAN AND MAN...

RUNNIN? FULL BURN IN A HI-TECH WORLD,
THEY GOT THE TWENTY- FIRST CENTURY BLUES!

ONCE UPON A TIME, IN A LAND CALLED AMERICA,
A WOMAN AND MAN COULD BE THEMSELVES, BOTH COULD MAKE ANY STAND...
A MAN WAS A MAN, AND A WOMAN WAS WORTH HER WORD,
AT LEAST THAT?S THE WORD I HEARD, BOTH WOMAN AND MAN... (BOTH WOMAN AND MAN)

RUNNIN? FULL BURN IN A HI-TECH WORLD,
THEY GOT THE TWENTY- FIRST CENTURY BLUES! (OH LORD YOU KNOW IT?S TRUE.) YEAH, WHEN YOUR LIVIN? IN A STONE-COLD WORLD,
YOU GET THE TWENTY- FIRST CENTURY BLUES! (WHAT IS A SOUL TO DO?)
TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF!

BACK IN HER YOUTH SHE WAS TOLD JUST WHAT A MAN WOULD WANT, (WATCH OUT!)
SO SHE?D GIVE HIM JUST WHAT HE WANT, A YOUNG GIRL WITH NO PLAN...
(YOUNG GIRL WITH NO PLAN!)
YEAH HE WAS TOLD, THAT HE COULD BE WHAT HE WANNA BE,
ANYBODY COULD BE SET FREE, BOTH WOMAN AND MAN... (BOTH WOMAN AND MAN!)

RUNNIN? FULL BURN IN A HI-TECH WORLD,
THEY GOT THE TWENTY- FIRST CENTURY BLUES! (OH LORD YOU KNOW IT?S TRUE!)
YEAH, WHEN YOUR LIVIN? IN A STONE-COLD WORLD,
YOU GET THE TWENTY- FIRST CENTURY BLUES! (WHAT IS A SOUL TO DO... ?ROUND HERE WITH HIS SELF?)
WHEN YOUR LIVIN? IN THE MYTHICAL LAND OF AMERICA! (DON?T TREAD ON ME)
WHEN YOUR LIVIN? IN THE MYTHICAL LAND OF AMERICA! (DON?T TREAD ON ME)
