When i was a boy
Simple times, simple joy
And life was not full of hate and chaos
A modern man
Lives in some kind of hurricane
I need your love to keep me calm
When the world is a storm
Hell fire man desire
Downtown scream siren
Ghetto gun drug lord
Kill children stillborn
Asphalt flesh bone
Trash bag alley bomb
Hey, hey, it's a sin
About the shape the world is in
Hey, hey, it's a shame
Modern man hurricane
Earth dump suck soil
Sewer spit sea oil
Toxic ocean chemical fish
Man made death wish
Hey, hey, it's a shame
Modern man hurricane
I need your love to keep me calm
When the world's a storm
