Lyrics
Modern World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
What kind of fool do you think I am?
To think I know nothing but the modern world
All my life is spent outside
I will turn my head and leave
Is my inspiration dry?
I'll know more than you'll ever know
Even at school I felt quite sure
And one day I'll be on top
And I'd look down upon the map
And teachers said I don't mean a thing
This is the modern world
That I look about
This is the modern world
We don't need no one to tell us what's right or wrong
Say what you would like
'cause I don't care
I know what I am and what to do
Somewhere I will see you
Don't have to explain myself to you
Don't give two f***s about you're view
This is the modern world
That I look about
This is the modern world
We don't need no one to tell us what's right or wrong
Well this is...
Yeah we don't need no one
what's right or wrong
Wrong
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
