21st Century Kid

by Jamie Cullum

album: Catching Tales

There's maybe a way i can tell you

cos with everyday things continue

to get more compromised,

so who will fantasise

a new generation politicised

when things are done in our own name

are we as much to blame?

now it's become clear to me,

but only lately

and the ground is removed underneath

shout it from the brink,

you're louder than you think

Chorus:

21st century kid surrounded by illusion and confusion,

so maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,

could it be the greatest weapon?

could it be the greatest weapon?

your weapon

nothing is certain except a memory

and that's soon washed away by a low sea

now sit yourself down my one

and see what you become,

ignoring a smouldering gun

the white dove's flown

d'ya think we're on our own?

Chorus:

21st century kid surrounded by illusion and confusion.

so maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,

could it be the greatest weapon?

21st century kid surrounded by illusion and confusion.

so maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,

could it be the greatest weapon?

could it be the greatest weapon?

your weapon
