Ow, I don't know what I want, I can't get no peace
All I really know is, I don't need no priest
Hangin' religion around my back
Be it science-fiction, theory or fact
I don't know what I want, I can't get no peace

I got two fine cars, a house and a job
And by the time I'm 35, I'll be a fat slob
I don't care about 1985
'Cause if I ain't dead, you know I'll be half alive
I don't care about 1985

C'mon, get it while you can, there ain't much left to take
Go on, get it while you can, there ain't much left to take
Get it while you can, just like a 20th century man

You'll be a 20th Century man
A 20th Century man
I'm a 20th Century man, yeah

Aw shit
Hey, get outta there!
Watch it!
Hey, shut the door man, what's the matter with ya?

I don't know what I want, I can't get no peace

'Cause I'm a 20th Century man
Just a 20th Century man
I'm a 20th Century man
Be a 20th Century man

Get it while you can, there ain't much left to take, no
Go on, get it while you can, there ain't much left to take
You got to get it while you can, just like a 20th Century man

Go on be a 20th Century man
I'm a 20th Century man
Just a 20th Century man
I'm a 20th Century man
Just a, ow!

I'm a
Just a
Oh, Nellie
Ain't no ordinary 20th Century man
