In the 21st Century Machine Shelf light and live precariously verse 2 Sipping on rosè is your best solution Down it all till your stumbling with past confusion......Then Wake up and do it all over again You only live once, Friday nights your only friend And you shouldn't worry.....About your weight And trust me when you're not looking they'll all still say you look great Oh they'll still say you look great Bridge (strum on beat) I'm in peril, they wanna give me hell They look at me with hungry eyes as I'm another Infidel But oh they like me That's why they wish me well That's why they pull me gently as I'm trapped inside their meld Chorus 21st Century machine It's the place to be... In the 21st Century Machine Shelf light and live precariously Ending And if you saw me right now Would you still remember me?
