Year 2053

Vondráčková Lucie

I´m living in the year 
2053 
And I´m sure to now 
Have the right 
To ask 
Could you please 
Tell me why 

I'm next century girl 
So why my worlds only grey 
Why then 
You people from before 
Just use, consume and destroy 

I'm next century girl 
And I try to understand 

Digital tree is green 
Beauty is lacking 
Digital sky is blue 
Believe me 
It is true 
With no clouds on 

Digital bird can fly 
But without singing 
And we can breathe 
The air I must say 
Night and day 
With a mask on 
I´m crying in the year 
2053 

Why you 
Have despoiled all the seas 
That we 
Can no longer see 

I'm next century girl 
So why should I understand? 

Digital rain is clean 
But has no droplets 
Digital sky is blue 
Believe me it is true 
With no clouds on 
Digital grass is green 
But only Sundays 
And we can breathe the air 
I must say 
Night and day 
With a mask on 

Now next century girl 
Asks why didn't you care 
Iťs you who's doing everything 
For year 2053 
Thank you for all my tears
