Queen of the 21st Century
(
Greg Graffin)
From the time she could crawl
She was all draped in macrame
She was preened and redeemed
In a church that tried to show the way
She was taught to never ask for more
They had no idea of what she had in store
Chorus:
She's the queen of the 21st century
Just a ghost of what her parents thought a little girl should be
Analog heart, analog nerves, analog brain
But a fixture of the digital domain
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
From the time she could read
She could see that there was urgency
No debate, just a spate
Of ignorance in a splintering community
She could never meet their expectations
Then she came to symbolize the nation
Chorus:
She's the queen of the 21st century
Just a shell of what her parents thought a little girl should be
Steeped in spite, coddled in fear, drenched in novelty
Oh-oh, but masterful of sensual technology
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
She's the queen
She's the queen
No rules in her empire
She's the queen
Just libido and desire
She's a lean, mean fighting machine
The stuff for modern media lore
And she always knows the score
Chorus:
She's the queen of the 21st century
Just a ghost of what her parents thought a little girl should be
Fallen star, black and blue, broken hearts, wasted youth
Rusted cars, twisted roots, mental scars, the ugly truth
[Post-Chorus]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
She's the queen of the 21st century
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
She's the queen of the 21st century
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
And she's a modern day romantic, a walking controversy
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
She's the queen of the 21st century
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
She's the queen of the 21st century
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
She's the queen of the 21st century
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
She's the queen
