Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is a modern world
This is the modern world
[Verse 2]
What kind of fool do you think I am?
You think I know nothing of the modern world
All my life has been the same, I've learned to live by hate and pain
It's my inspiration drive
[Verse 3]
I've learned more than you'll ever know
Even at school I felt quite sure
That one day I would be on top and I'd look down upon the map
The teachers who said I'd be nothing
Hey
[Verse 4]
This is the modern world that I've learned about
This is the modern world, we don't need no one
To tell us what's right or wrong
This is a modern world
[Verse 5]
Say what you like 'cause I don't care
I know where I am goin' to
It's somewhere I won't preview, don't have to explain myself to you
I don't give two fucks about your review
[Verse 6]
This is the modern world that I've learned about
This is a modern world, we don't need no one
To tell us what's right or wrong
[Verse 7]
The modern world this is, this is, this is, this is
This is, this is, this is
Hey, we don't need no one to tell us what's right or wrong
To tell us what's right or wrong
[Verse 8]
Ah
This is a modern world
This is a modern world
