Lyrics
Modern Way
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.
It's such a deep thought
For a shallow mind to see
Modern technology
Murdering you and me
It's just their modern world
They keep pulling on my strings
There's poison in their minds
Greed in their hearts
There are rules to obey
It's just their modern way
It's just their modern world
They keep pulling on my strings
We don't need them
We don't need your modern rules
We can see them behind the fools
Government lies, they hypnotize
