We’re at the beginning
Of a new century
Imagine
Just how exciting it was
Last century
Only now, we’ve got eighteen year olds
Who are bored with life, now
We’ve got young people
Who’ve passed through the excitement of
Magic
As it once would have been
Perceived
Last century, all that power and technology
Seemed to be only the start
Only now that we know we can get this far…

And still not be any closer to good lives
And still not be any closer to a happiness
And still not be any further from a suffering
And still not be any further from fear
It’s the beginning of the twenty first century
All of these questions we’ve managed to answer
Seem to be of no help when I look in the mirror
When I think how hard our ancestors have worked for this
And how I for one am not thrilled to be here

Have we gone real far
Have we come so far
Have we gotten ahead
Or just ahead of ourselves
Have we gotten anywhere
This last century.
