- 21st Century (Digital Boy) LyricsI 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'm
I can't explain it
The things you saying to me
It's going ya ya ya ya ya ya ya oh ya
'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'm
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?
'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
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)
Ain't life a mystery I'm
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'm
I can't explain it
The things you saying to me
It's going ya ya ya ya ya ya ya oh ya
'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'm
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?
'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
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)
Ain't life a mystery I'm

✔️
When we check its meaning, with Bad Religion's song '21st Century (Digital Boy)', the band was able to dive into modern society's vices and distractive lifestyle, drawing a parallel to a 'digital boy' who stands for a person totally oven and ignorant of the maters of the world. The lyrics of the track exhibit mainly emotions of fear, hopelessness, and, at the same time, social commentary, introspection, and even anger. The discussion on the theme of alienation and disconnection, materialism, identity and self-consciousness, suffering and empathy goes on in the song. Among the allusions in the lyrics, the singer talks about drug use ('My Mommy's on Valium') and employs strong language ('Neurosurgeons scream for more', 'Innocence raped with napalm fire'), both being the reasons for PG-13 rating. Thus, the themes and expressions point to the presence of content that might not be suitable for kids under 13 without the parents' approval.
