lyrics
A thousand years of sunlight
pressed under a stone
won't make you golden
won't make you whole
There's a boy who keeps time in a jar
rides around in a train car
says your truth won't go far
says your truth won't go far
I'm a 21st century man
too much time and not enough plans
I'm a 21st century man
I'd like to try but it's out of my hands
I'm a 21st century man
I'm a 21st century man
I'd like to help but I don't understand
