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.
We live in a modern world
With communication
between boy and girl
Oh Yeah
But under the stars above
We just don't recognise
the power of love is free
We gotta change
We gotta change
We gotta change how we feel
We gotta change
We gotta change
When anger has closed the door
My eyes go blind
and I can see inside
I hurt you and you hurt me
With crimes of love
in the first degree
Oh yeah
We gotta change
We gotta change
We gotta change how we feel
We gotta change
We gotta change
We live in a modern world
With communication
between boy and girl
oh yeah
but when there are clouds above
We just don't recognise
the power of love is free
We gotta change
We gotta change
We gotta change how we feel
We gotta change
We gotta change
