Modern Living

 

What do you call it when you’re living

It’s just modern living

Lots of take and no giving

This is Modern Living

 

You think you move up in style

But what are those sticky friends

They’re hanging on you

 

You think you move in class

But all your dreams they’re just stuck in the past

 

A bit if this I’ve had enough of that

Modern Living

I swept a lot of dirt under the mat

Modern Living

 

You say nasty things on the phone

Why you get nasty when you’re at home

You ought to save it for when we’re alone

A little more shit I’m takin you back way back

 

A bit if this I’ve had enough of that

Modern Living

I swept a lot of dirt under the mat

Modern Living

 

We go out for a good time

What do your think that we find

We go out for a real good time yea

I don’t care, I don’t care what time it is

 

I don’t talk to people out on the street

When I get hung up my emotions freeze

I don’t wanna answer the ringing telephone

Why don’t they all just fuck off and leave me alone
