13th Century Boy Lyrics

    Let the dark ages begin...now!

    You don't live the way you should
    You're not chaste or wise or good
    Oh no, when you're human
    I wait for you, my queen
    I keep myself ready clean like my maker--against nature
    I needn't worry about all the wars out there
    The price of fish and all the ineffective hygiene

    Chorus:
    You are the reason why i've reached perfection
    You are the reason why i try to tend this fertile void
    I'm a 13th century boy

    These are heroic times
    So thumb your nose at years gone by
    Be hardened...we're a legend
    Now love keeps the country green
    I know because i've seen the pictures
    In this week's scriptures

    All i know is that i feel you coming near
    All you need know is that your [prophet elector] is waiting--chorus

    You are the reason why i live forever
    You are the reason why i learned to love the void
    Oh, i'm a 13th century boy
    Oh, i'm a new dark ages boy
    I'm a 13th century boy
