Queen of the 21st Century

Lyrics

[Verse 1] From the time she could crawl She was all draped in macrame She was preened and redeemed In a church that tried to show the way [Pre-Chorus] She was taught to never ask for more They had no idea of what she had in store [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] Whoa-oh-oh-oh [Verse 2] From the time she could read She could see that there was urgency No debate, just a spate Of ignorance in a splintering community [Pre-Chorus] She could never meet their expectations Then she came to symbolize the nation [Chorus] She's the queen of the 21st century Just a shell of what her parents thought a little girl should be Steeped in spite, coddled in fear, drenched in novelty Oh-oh, but masterful of sensual technology [Post-Chorus] Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh [Bridge] She's the queen She's the queen No rules in her empire She's the queen Just libido and desire She's a lean, mean fighting machine The stuff for modern media lore And she always knows the score [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] She's the queen of the 21st century Just a ghost of what her parents thought a little girl should be Fallen star, black and blue, broken hearts, wasted youth Rusted cars, twisted roots, mental scars, the ugly truth [Post-Chorus] Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh [Outro] She's the queen of the 21st century (Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) She's the queen of the 21st century (Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) And she's a modern day romantic, a walking controversy (Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) She's the queen of the 21st century (Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) She's the queen of the 21st century (Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) She's the queen of the 21st century (Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) She's the queen
