Modern World

excerpts:
"The Modern World is for modern people
With steps too nimble for the pace of men
We live their dirt, our dirt is equal
But we learn only to live clean again
(to be clean again)

We trod so heavy on this fragile earth
We underestimate our every worth
They over compensate to make things worse
Oh, won’t you help me to find my course, yeah

Behold! There’s a new day arising
Where men free themselves from within
And if there’s something missing from your life, guilt is there
We know the seeds we sow will reap despair (in advance)

They break their legs and walk again
We’ll do you better than that
Let’s break the ground where they stand

The time has come to overthrow our government
They’re making enemies of our brethren
Can’t tell an alien from a resident
Can’t tell the President from a terrorist (these days)

Now I can read you like a magazine
You’re not exactly what you seem to be
And who better able to deceive than one in whom we hunger to believe

Behold! There’s a new day arising
Where men free themselves from within..."
