Modern Times

[Verse 1]
I've been looking up at something
I just don't know what it is I see
I've been thinking that I'm one thing
When I'm really someone else
There's a brave new world coming after me
But I can read between the lines
So you better hear out my testimony
Or we'll all be doing time

[Pre-Chorus]
What's that sound? Don't run away
I didn't want to come, I don't want to stay
Drive by mine, get out of my way
Stay out of my lane

[Chorus]
Modern times
Not the hand that you dealt but the cards their dealing
Modern times
Where the new boss looks the same
Modern times
Did I say something wrong went and hurt your feelings
Modern times
But it's still the same old game

[Verse 2]
I've been trying to get my head round
Things I've never heard before
I've been trying to get my feet down
Firmly on the floor
Still a brave new world coming after me
And I can see between the lines
If you're taking all the best of me
Are you willing to pay the price

[Pre-Chorus]
What's that sound? Don't run away
I didn't want to come, I don't want to stay
Drive by mine, get out of my way
Stay out of my lane

[Chorus]
Modern times
Not the hand that you dealt but the cards their dealing
Modern times
Where the new boss looks the same
Modern times
Did I say something wrong went and hurt your feelings
Modern times
But it's still the same old game

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Modern times
Not the hand that you dealt but the cards their dealing
Modern times
Where the new boss looks the same
Modern times
Did I say something wrong went and hurt your feelings
Modern times
But it's still the same old game
