Lyrics
History Of Modern (Part 2)
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.
The first mistake is when you take
What you thought you'd changed for granted
All that's certain runs aground
All is lost that had been found
The next mistake is when you break
Every rule that you invented
Can you feel it coming down
Can't you see it all around
Tear the picture from the page
Let the dog out of the cage
And surrender to the rage
I dont want a thing to care
The last mistake you ever make
Thinking modern is new forever
Can you feel it coming down
Can't you see it all around
Tear the picture from the page
Let the dog out of the cage
Then surrender to the rage
I don't want to think again
Repeat
