Something's telling me I got to turn away

From the life I had, I shouldn't hesitate

Walk like an animal into the world of glass

Seems so fragile, yeah, nothing was built to last

All the lovers you had, all the lives that you led mean nothing

It's trickling down and I can't hear a sound they make

In the modern days (We live for these modern days

Oh babe, we live for these modern days)

In the modern days (We live for these modern days

Oh babe, we livе for these modern days)

(Wе live for these modern days, oh babe we live for these modern days)

This is bigger than the fear of atom bombs

The truth is on sale at your local restaurant

The time for selling out has been and gone and died

Music lover in a whirlwind not your time

Afraid of the shadows I send, I know I got to get up to the ceiling again (In the modern days)

Put me out of my misery now, I won't slip away

But I know what I want you say

And the atoms in my heart all pray together

I'll hold you forever

[Chorus]

In the modern days (We live for these modern days

Oh babe, we live for these modern days)

In the modern days (We live for these modern days

Oh babe, we live for these modern days)

In the modern days (We live for these modern days

Oh babe we live for these modern days)

Way up in my room, telling all my secrets

In the modern days

In the modern days (We live for these modern days

Oh babe, we live for these modern days)

In the modern days (We live for these modern days

Oh babe, we live for these modern days)
