| Sounds like a song critizing the current state we're all in. "don't be sad pills" would be in reference to the medical dependency so many more people are on today in the 21st century than in the past. "dollar bill will" the way people (especially here in the US) are motivated by money is a concept that was always prevelant but even more now than any other time. Good song, glad I was able to comment on it before 200 14 year olds deemed it a love song or song about drugs somehow. | |

| If you notice, he keeps repeating phrases about twisting words. "Rotation and mutilation" are themes repeated many times, and the obvious one, "Read me your scripture and I will twist it". This song is about ideologies worldwide (and opinions in our own country) and how everyone has a different perception of everybody else. Whenever I hear the main chorus "There's a reason..." I always think of people who are stuck in the past. "Why can't things be like the good old days? When you didn't have to lock your doors or pay too much for gas?" Anthony is saying, well... we're here in the 21st century; better to embrace it and deal with it rather than think of the past. But going back to the themes of "twisting language", I think the chorus is hopeful - this is the 21st century, and we have an opportunity to change as a human species, and try to understand each other rather than twist words and point the finger. | |

| My favorite RHCP song. this song makes me think alot and the beat, makes me feel, good, somehow... I love it! The song dishes out all the fucked up things in the '21st century' and in a way it says: "accept it. Its happening and its real... so there is a reason for it" (everything thats real has a reason). And since its all filled of stupidity and ignorance its FUNNY in a weird way. RHCP nicely done (>,")b | |

| I believe that this song is just describing the changes that the 21st century has brought. Everything from wars (simple soldier, hand it over), sex... It shouldn't be the reason for the 21st century, but its all that there is to come, so he knows its meant to be... there's no stopping it. | |
