Hooray for the 21st Century
The Libertines

Every sweet little lie
Ever whispered to you now rings true
No need to wake the sleeping dogs
When they’ll just turn on you

I’ll make my way instead
To the foot of your ivory tower
But no love shall I find there
Among the leaves and the dying flowers

What became of the love we knew?

Beat the swine black and blue
You and I and me and you
What became of the love we knew?
What became of the love we knew?

The Thames and the Mersey
The Tyne and the Wear and the Clyde
They spew slums like gravy
On the banks of the poisonous tide

They washed up a pale thin girl
Alone in her ivory tower
Scratching her skin with the thorns that grow
On the stems of the wild flowers

What became of the love we knew?

Beat the swine black and blue
You and I and me and you
What became of the love we knew?

What became of the working class?
Nike Air, Reebok, Addidas
Scratch cards, pinball’s ecstasy

Hooray for the 21st century

Living in a looking glass
As the beauty of life goes by
You’re going to be so old
You’re going to be so old
Your skins so cold

Hooray for the 21st Century
