Used to be you could trust what you heard
The channels were three
When news didn't seem so absurd
The words set you free
Now they tell you what to think
And that the sky is green
Am I the only one to see that it's a big machine
Someone tell me
How can we believe the world is round
I just can't conceive it
All we see and hear the truth has drown
It's all but disappeared
How can we believe the world is round
It's hard to perceive it
Shake your head and scream but there's no sound
We've got the 21st Century Blues
Now here and now everything's upside down
It's all a big lie
Some with suits will shoot up the town
They won't be denied
How many people got to die before we lend a hand
I can see myself living in their promised land
Someone help me
How can we believe the world is round
I just can't conceive it
All we see and hear the truth has drown
It's all but disappeared
How can we believe the world is round
It's hard to perceive it
Shake your head and scream but there's no sound
We've got the 21st Century Blues
Now they tell you what to think and that the sky is green
Am I the only one to see that it's a big machine
How can we believe the world is round
I just can't conceive it
All we see and hear the truth has drown
It's all but disappeared
How can we believe the world is round
It's hard to perceive it
Shake your head and scream but there's no sound
We've got the 21st Century Blues
