Modern Life


It's a modern life but it's not what you're looking for
(Whoa, it's a modern life)
It's a modern life but it's not what it's supposed to be
(Whoa, it's a modern life)
The potential was there
But it got tossed in the can
Too many corkscrews to carry out the plan
You try to make a difference
But you're just another man

It's a modern life but it's not what you're looking for
(Whoa, what you're looking for)
(Whoa, time to let it go)
It's a modern life but it's not what it's supposed to be
(Whoa, it's a modern life)
It's a modern life but it looks like it came from a zoo
(Whoa, like it came from a zoo)

You had a different idea but now you're just outta luck
You hunt a bargain just to save a buck
Now you're still on the job and it looks like your stuck

It's a modern life but it's not what you're looking for
(Whoa, it's a modern life)
It's a modern life but it reads better on TV
(Whoa, it's a modern life)
(Time to pay up - for the fuck up)
It's a modern life but it's not what it's supposed to be
(Whoa, it's a modern life)
It's a modern life but it looks like it came from a zoo
(Whoa, like it came from a zoo)

You had a different idea but now you're just outta luck
You hunt a bargain just to save a buck
Now you're still on the job and it looks like your stuck

It's a modern life but it's not what you're looking for
(Whoa, it's a modern life)
(Time to pay up - for the fuck up)
It's a modern life but it's not what it's supposed to be
(Whoa, it's a modern life)
(Time to pay up - for the fuck up)
It's a modern life but it's not what you're looking for
(Whoa, it's a modern life)
It's a modern life but it's not what you're looking for
(Whoa, it's a modern life)
It's a modern life but it's not what you're looking for
(Whoa, it's a modern life)
