So automatic but everyone’s static
Going down to the underground
Millions of people, fumble and tumble
On the one way merry go round
Where trees once stood and rivers flowed
I see a station and a busy road
You and me were meant to be
Living in perfect harmony
But we do what we want, we take what we can
We are 21st century neanderthal man
Soup and banoffee, 24 hour coffee
It’s all got easily now
What gives you the money, for milk and for honey
We’ll work it out later somehow
My city grows, my country wains
Under dirty streets and noisy express trains
You and me were meant to be
Living in perfect harmony
But we do what we want, we take what we can
We are 21st century neanderthal man
Look at their faces, all blank like head cases
I laugh as I walk right on by
Then I see a mirror and I start to shiver
I see the same look in my eye
I love life, but I can’t find
The missing kindness in mankind
You and me were meant to be
Living in perfect harmony
But we do what we want, we take what we can
We are 21st century neanderthal man
