21st Century Kid Lyrics
Jamie Cullum
There's maybe a way i can tell you
cos with everyday things continue
to get more compromised,
so who will fantasise
a new generation politicised
when things are done in our own name
are we as much to blame?
now it's become clear to me,
but only lately
and the ground is removed underneath
shout it from the brink,
you're louder than you think
Chorus:
21st century kid surrounded by illusion and confusion,
so maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,
could it be the greatest weapon?
could it be the greatest weapon?
your weapon
nothing is certain except a memory
and that's soon washed away by a low sea
now sit yourself down my one
and see what you become,
ignoring a smouldering gun
the white dove's flown
d'ya think we're on our own?
Chorus:
21st century kid surrounded by illusion and confusion.
so maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,
could it be the greatest weapon?
21st century kid surrounded by illusion and confusion.
so maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,
could it be the greatest weapon?
could it be the greatest weapon?
your weapon
