Oh, 20th century
20th century

Working on the line just trying to make a dollar
Along came the boss and he tapped me on the shoulder
He said I got to make my little light shine
If I want to keep my job, I got to work it double time
Baby it's our destiny
You know we're living in the 20th century

Oh, 20th century
Oh, 20th century
Oh, baby it's our destiny
You know we're living in the 20th century

If you're standing on a corner, well, you don't stand a chance
You got to have a job if you want to make romance
I think about my baby nearly all of the time
But I got to keep on working cuz they can't stop the line
Baby it's our destiny
You know we're living in the 20th century

Oh, 20th century
Oh, 20th century
Oh, baby it's our destiny
You know we're living in the 20th century

20th century
20th century
20th century
20th century
