Electric Light Orchestra

Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) are a British rock group from Birmingham, England who released eleven studio albums between 1971 and 1986 and another album in 2001. ELO were formed to accommodate Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne's desire to create modern rock and pop songs with classical overtones. After Wood's departure following the band's debut record, Lynne wrote and arranged all of the group's original compositions and produced every album. more »

A penny in your pocket 
Suitcase in your hand 
They won't get you very far 
Now you're a 21st century man.

Fly across the city 
Rise above the land 
You can do 'most anything 
Now you're a 21st century man.

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow
You still wander the fields of your sorrow 

One day you're a hero 
Next day you're a clown 
There's nothing that is in between 
Now you're a 21st century man.

You should be so happy 
You should be so glad 
So why are you so lonely 
You 21st century man

You stepped out of a dream believing 
Everything was gone 
Return with what you've learned 
They'll kiss the ground you walk upon.

Things ain't how you thought they were 
Nothing have you planned 
So pick up your penny and your suitcase 
You're not a 21st century man.

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow 
You still wander the fields of your sorrow 
21st century man
