song

s-- Yes! -- to show us? Yeah! Do you want to listen to the 21st century machine? Ritchie: Yes. Perry: 21st century machine? It's a bit about how the media affected me as a little impressionable kid and a bit about my bitterness, but... You also sound like a fucking genius. Here is the introduction. People on the airwaves are always preaching who I should be. How to dress, how to talk, maybe, how to breathe.

Wicked artists use their nimble fingers to paint pictures of what young girls should aspire to be. I'm not alive without using illegal weed, I'm not in love without a man sitting next to me. Somebody tell me if this is all an illusion, or if I'm just a cog in the 21st century machine. It's the place to be. In the 21st century machine. Shed light and live precariously~ Yes, it's alright! That's SO good a
