Modern Times

Gonna get to it tomorrow

But they don't care at all

They're gonna ease your pain and sorrow

But we heard the same before

All my lovin' friends

Takin' nothin' home

And I can't be the one

To let trouble come

All their homes are broken

And what are they gonna do

There's no magic potion

Their layin' days are through

Love and lust

Go hand in hand

Everything turned to dust

In our promised land

Take away the chain

And watch it pass you by

While your lies are red

Make me wanna cry

In these modern times

Gonna scream it on a mountain

To every valley wide

It's all your money they're countin'

And to your face they lie

Put on your work boots mama

In your morning gown

Tell me day to day

They're already in the ground

See the way they explain

Watch it pass you by

Would you die for it?

Leave me alone to cry

In these modern times

In these modern times

In these modern times
