Queen Of The 21st Century Songtext / Lyric

From the time she could crawl she was all draped in macrame

She was preened and redeemed in a church that tried to show the way

She was taught to never ask for more

They had no idea of what she had in store



She's the queen of the 21st century

Just a ghost of what her parents thought a little girl should be

Analog heart, analog nerves, analog brain

but a fixture of the digital domain



From the time she could read she could see that there was urgency

No debate, just a spate of ignorance in a splintering community

She could never meet their expectations

Then she came to symbolize the nation






She's the queen of the 21st century

Just a shred of what her parents thought a little girl should be

Steeped in spite, coddled in fear, drenched in novelty

but masterful at sensual technology



She's the queen, no rules in her empire

She's the queen, just libido and desire

She's the lean, mean, fighting machine, the stuff of modernmedia lore

And she always knows the score

She's the queen of the 21st century

Just a ghost of what her parents thought a little girl should be

Fallen star, Black and Blue

Broken hearts, Wasted Youth

Rusted cars, twisted roots

Mental scars, the ugly truth



She's the queen of the 21st century

and she's a modernday polemic

a walking controversy



She's the queen!
