it's the 21st century and Elvis is still dead
and we're not wearing oxygen bubbles around our heads
and New Year's wasn't doom
and not a damn thing went kaboom
and the party just fizzled out and we went home
it's the 21st century and God still hides away
in the clouds from down here civil leaders still love to say
that God likes to wave our flag
and he likes it when you beat up fags

everyone's got their convictions

and I can't see into tomorrow
I don't know which direction to set sail
I'm always under construction
in constant danger of malfunction
I got no backup plan in case I fail

how we got here is a mystery
we need a planetary penicillin shot
religion is crowd control, there's always TV

and if I ever have a kid
I hope it doesn't go through all the shit I did
just trying to make sense of random rules
a lot of broken hearts, a lot of broken minds
we break em fast, and rebuild them slow
pushed and pulled in all directions
illuminate your imperfections
and all I really know right now is
I got no map to follow
and I can't see into tomorrow
I don't know which direction to set sail
I'm always under construction
in constant danger of malfuncti
