Bad Religion ~ 21st Century Digital Boy


I can't believe it, the way you look sometimes, Like a trampled flag on a city street, oh yeah, And I don't want it, the things you're offering me, Symbolized bar code, quick ID, oh yeah, 'Cause I'm a 21st Century digital boy, I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys, My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual, My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual, Ain't life a mystery? I can't explain it, the things they're saying to me, It's going yayayayayayaya, oh yeah, 'Cause I'm a 21st Century digital boy, I don't know how to read but I've got a lot of toys, My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual, My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual, Ain't life a mystery? I tried tell you about no control, But now I really don't know, And then you told me how bad you had to suffer, Is that really all you have to offer? See I'm a 21st Century digital boy, I don't know how to read but I've got a lot of toys, My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual, My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual, That's what I yearn for (21st Century digital boy), Neurosurgeons scream for more (21st Century digital boy), Innocence raped with napalm fire (21st Century digital boy), Anything I want I really need (21st Century digital boy), 21st Century schitzoid boy (21st Century digital boy), 21st Century video boy (21st Century digital boy), 21st Century digital boy (21st Century digital boy), 21st Century sofa boy (21st Century digital boy)...

I can't believe it, the way you look sometimes,
Like a trampled flag on a city street, oh yeah,

And I don't want it, the things you're offering me,
Symbolized bar code, quick ID, oh yeah,

'Cause I'm a 21st Century digital boy,
I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys,
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual,
My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual,
Ain't life a mystery?

I can't explain it, the things they're saying to me,
It's going yayayayayayaya, oh yeah,

'Cause I'm a 21st Century digital boy,
I don't know how to read but I've got a lot of toys,
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual,
My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual,
Ain't life a mystery?
I tried tell you about no control,
But now I really don't know,
And then you told me how bad you had to suffer,
Is that really all you have to offer?

See I'm a 21st Century digital boy,
I don't know how to read but I've got a lot of toys,
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual,
My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual,

That's what I yearn for (21st Century digital boy),
Neurosurgeons scream for more (21st Century digital boy),
Innocence raped with napalm fire (21st Century digital boy),
Anything I want I really need (21st Century digital boy),
21st Century schitzoid boy (21st Century digital boy),
21st Century video boy (21st Century digital boy),
21st Century digital boy (21st Century digital boy),
21st Century sofa boy (21st Century digital boy)...

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
