D                             D  
Here I am in the 21st century
D/E  D/F#  D

D                                 
I have to say it ain't as cool as 
                    D  D/E  D/F#  D
I hoped it would be
   A                  D
No man on the moon, nobody on Mars
A                    D
Where the hell is my flying car?
      G                  
Ain't nothing even like a 
 D                  A
teletransporter so far


[Verse]

             D  D/E  D/F#  D
millennium
D                                 
Getting by on just the bare 
    D  D/E  D/F#  D
minimum
A                      D
Everything to lose and nothing to 
spare
A                 D
Going to hell and nobody cares
G                     D    
Ain't the future that Kennedy 
            A
promised me
                    D
In the 21st century

Finally come to the Age of

Aquarius
D

A god-damn American utopian dream
G                                
If you believe that, then you're 
D                    A
more optimistic than me

A                  D
Nobody helping out nobody else
G                      D         
Ain't the way that the Maharishi 
              A
said it would be

D                                 
We stand now on the verge of

history
D                                 
The world can be anything that we

want it to be
                A

Out in the streets, downtown in the 
park
G                       D

          A
