Y&T
"21st Century"
(Dave Meniketti)

Oh, it's so tired
This social mutation
Solving everything at the end of a gun
Can we spill the blood
From all this hatred
And pass the point of no return

'Cause, I know
There's gonna be some changes, changes
From the wake of our time - I wanna be there

Maybe in the 21st Century
We can live life like it ought to be - in our time

Be torn down
Convicted and lied to
Breeding ignorance to make the same mistakes
Well, it's past time
To make the right moves
Take a chance and a leap of faith

'Cause, I know
We've got the means to change it, change
The fate of our time - I wanna be there

Well, maybe in the 21st Century
We can make it better than it used to be - in our time
Maybe in the 21st Century
We can live life like it ought to be - in our minds

Well, it's our time
To stop the madness
And take the rap for our own mistakes

'Cause, I know
There's gonna be some changes, changes
From the wake of our time

Oh, stop the madness
This cycle of rage
There must be a new way

Well, maybe in the 21st Century
We can live life like it ought to be - in our minds
Maybe in the 21st Century
We can make it better than it used to be - in our time
Maybe in the 21st Century
We can be everything we ought to be - in our minds
