I was born and raised an outlaw
in a land that once was free
1960s-1990s

LIVING IN THE 20th CENTURY
Why are you here? What is this place?
I bid you welcome to the human race,
Under certain pain, it always rains (?)
From sea to shining sea.
People in pain, poverty cries,
Deception touches everybody's lives
White men may see this is life (?)
The way that it ought to be
So I've been praying for the starving poor.
And I keep pointing toward the open door
And I keep dreaming of a distant shore
Where men are free.
We're living in the twentieth century.
Sitting in the lap of luxury
Seeing only what you want to see.
Living in the twentieth century.
People are blind, don't comprehend
The angry lion that they called their friend
He seeks to devour, to seek and destroy the weak.
We kill unknown children, then cry save the whales
Let the poor criminals out of jail
We think evolution of the species
Will help man to learn to turn the other cheek.
So I've been praying for the starving poor.
And I keep pointing toward the open door
And I keep dreaming of a distant shore
Where men are free.
We're living in the twentieth century.
Sitting in the lap of luxury
Seeing only what you want to see.
Living in the twentieth century.
