Sammy Hagar - 20th Century Man Lyrics






Ow, I don't know what I want, I can't get no peace
All I really know is, I don't need no priest
Hangin' religion around my back
Be it science-fiction, theory or fact
I don't know what I want, I can't get no peace

I got two fine cars, a house and a job
And by the time I'm 35, I'll be a fat slob
I don't care about 1985
'Cause if I ain't dead, you know I'll be half alive
I don't care about 1985

C'mon, get it while you can, there ain't much left to take
Go on, get it while you can, there ain't much left to take
Get it while you can, just like a 20th century man

You'll be a 20th Century man
A 20th Century man
I'm a 20th Century man, yeah

Aw shit
Hey, get outta there!
Watch it!
Hey, shut the door man, what's the matter with ya?

I don't know what I want, I can't get no peace

'Cause I'm a 20th Century man
Just a 20th Century man
I'm a 20th Century man
Be a 20th Century man

Get it while you can, there ain't much left to take, no
Go on, get it while you can, there ain't much left to take
You got to get it while you can, just like a 20th Century man

Go on be a 20th Century man
I'm a 20th Century man
Just a 20th Century man
I'm a 20th Century man
Just a, ow!

I'm a
Just a
Oh, Nellie
Ain't no ordinary 20th Century man

    *Aw Shit*

  2. D.... ....

    The irony of him not caring about 1985 when he wrote this is that it was his first year with Van Halen and when his career got bigger than it had ever been.

    Ah Shit - This jam kicks major league bottom!!

  5. r.... ....

    Sammy Hagar kicks ass, with or without Van Halen!

    r.... ....

    Just my asshole opinion, but while a lot of Van Hagar is good too... i still think both bands were better when they were separate entities.

  6. M.... ....

    I am a fat slob and I dont give a flying fuck at a rolling donut baby yeah!!!!!!

  7. U.... ....

    @alcandie1
    Oh, me too. Definitely better than:
    'how do I know when it's love? I can't tell you but it lasts forever.' or...
    'and then you sense a change, nothing feels the same, all your dreams are strange, some kind of alien, love comes walkin' in.' or...
    'only time will tell if we stand the test of time.'

    Yup, I definitely love this 'I'll be a fat slob' song better. Much more funnier.

    "I got 2 fine cars, a house and a job. And by the time I'm 35, I'LL BE A FAT SLOB."
    - Sammy Hagar, '20th Century Man', 1980

    Yup, The Red Rooster is definitely a fat slob. And an attempted murderer of Van Halen. And an annoying piece of crap. And unappreciative of the 4 guys in Van Halen that paved the way for his fame and fortune.

    Yup. He's a fat slob alright. Destiny fulfilled.

  9. J.... ....

    I've always loved this song.
