And then you told me how bad you had to suffer.
Is that really all you have to offer?

I love to make short drives with this song. It feels like it is about me, at least the text in bold in the lyrics block below, - almost like me.

Bad Religion is a punk rock band that formed in Los Angeles in 1979.

(Digital Boy)

Lyrics

I can't believe it, the way you look sometimes
Like a trampled flag on a city street, oh yeah
And I don't want it, the things you're offering me
Symbolized bar code, quick ID, oh yeah

[Chorus:]
See I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to read but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual
Ain't life a mystery?

I can't explain it, the things you're saying to me
It's going yayayayayayaya, oh yeah

Tried to tell you about no control
But now I really don't know
And then you told me how bad you had to suffer
Is that really all you have to offer?

Cat's foot, iron claw
Neurosurgeon, scream for more
Innocence raped with napalm fire
Everything I want, I really need.

21st century schizoid boy
21st century video boy
21st century digital boy...
