Album: The New America (2000)
From the time she could crawl she was all draped in macrame
She was preened & 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
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
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
She´s the queen of the 21st century
Just a shred of what her parents thought a little girl should be
Steeped in spite, coddled in fear, drenched in novelty
but masterful at sensual technology
She´s the queen, no rules in her empire
She´s the queen, just libido & desire
She´s the lean, mean, fighting machine, the stuff of modernmedia lore
And she always knows the score
She´s the queen of the 21st century
Just a ghost of what her parents thought a little girl should be
Fallen star, Black & Blue
Broken hearts, Wasted Youth
Rusted cars, twisted roots
Mental scars, the ugly truth
She´s the queen of the 21st century
and she´s a modernday polemic
a walking controversy
She´s the queen!
