20th Century Man

"20th Century Man" is a song recorded by British rock band The Kinks. It was released as a single in December 1971. "20th Century Man" was also featured as the opening track of their 1971 LP ''Muswell Hillbillies'', an album with blues and country roots. It centered on such themes as poverty, housing development, alienation, welfare state socialism, and other troubles of the modern world.〔() Paper on ''Muswell Hillbillies''〕
== Synopsis ==

In "20th Century Man", the singer expresses his regrets and worries about the modern world, "This is the age of machinery, a mechanical nightmare", and that there is "too much aggravation". As such, the singer claims that he's "gotta get out of here", and that "we've gotta find a solution". As part of the refrain he exclaims he's "a twentieth century man but I don't want to die here". As the song progresses he criticizes modern art claiming he prefers time-honored masters such as William Shakespeare, Rembrandt van Rijn, Titian, Leonardo da Vinci and Thomas Gainsborough ("You keep all your smart modern painters, I'll take Rembrandt, Titian, Da Vinci and Gainsborough"). The song culminates with a bridge, in which he explains that he was born into a welfare state, "ruled by bureaucracy", as he claims. The singer also claims that he's "Got no privacy", and "got no liberty". The song finishes with a resounding protest against these "20th century men".
