Bicentennial Man
Modern Reflections: Unraveling the Bicentennial Man's Meaning
Lyrics
I see you lookin'
I notice you observing
But I never see you smile
However, I never witness you expressing joy
Too bad it's that way
It's unfortunate that it's that way
And we'll never reconcile
We will never find a resolution
So this is the problem
So here lies the issue
I think it's plain to see
I believe it's evident
Just a modern woman
Just a contemporary woman
I'm just a modern me
I am just a modern version of myself
Well the mind's always happenin', doing what they can
The minds are always active, doing their best
Well what can you expect from a bicentennial man?
What should one anticipate from a bicentennial man?
I said the mind's always happenin', doing what they can
The minds are consistently active, doing their best
Well what can you expect from this bicentennial man?
What should one anticipate from this bicentennial man?
If I had a penny, two cents I'd give to you
If I possessed a penny, I would give you two cents
Then I'd want to be there
Then I would desire to be present
And you'd get what worth is due
And you would receive the appropriate value
If you try to test me
If you attempt to challenge me
I think it's plain to see
I believe it's evident
You'll be a modern woman
You will become a modern woman
I'll be a modern me
I will remain a modern version of myself
Well the mind's always happenin', doing what they can
The minds are always active, doing their best
Well what can you expect from a bicentennial man?
What should one anticipate from a bicentennial man?
I said the mind's always happenin', doing what they can
The minds are consistently active, doing their best
Well what can you expect from this bicentennial man?
What should one anticipate from this bicentennial man?
