20TH CENTURY

Two murmurs and a point

Makes a pretty good riot

Girls over here, girls over there

It's girls, girls, everywhere

The world of TV the world of Videos

Who wants the damn old Radio?

Boys shout here, boys wink there

It’s just a boy, boys, whistling everywhere

Where is old Santa Merry?

In 20th Century

In its fight, in its loot

In its’ love, in its shoot

Days and hash rules

Presidents are just fools

Kissing is common

From Commies to the Romans

Just take your pick

Knives, guns, and bricks

Throw the hell around

From heaven to the ground

Where is old Santa Merry?

In the 20th century

In its’ dance, in its’ chance

 In its play, in its’ lay

Wars and Revolution

Are today’s solution

The sun gets hotter

Blood is cheaper than water

Liquor is for fun and gay

Let it be night or day

I say you, you say me

We just tell lies as we feel

We vote nuts to power

We stand in queues for hours

Do one thing for heaven's sake

Trust no one these days
