1. Junkies are robbin’ your car and your home,
The pound in your pocket’s goin’ way down.
Alarms, loud music, yeah who wants to sleep,
A symphony of violence to darken your street.
2. Nuclear power plants waitin’ to go wrong,
The hole in the ozone, aids and terrorist bombs,
London where I live’s lookin’ really third world,
Yeah, tell me tell me, what’s happening girl.
Ch: This is the modern world, this is the modern world,
This is the modern world, for us baby.
This is the modern world, this is the modern world,
Yeah take a look, tell me what do you see.
3. Ex-mental patient it’s all gone wrong,
Nothin’ he can do, he’s too far gone.
Sleepin’ on the pavement, walk by on the other-side,
Count down the days, to his suicide.
Ch: This is the modern world, this is the modern world,
This is the modern world, for us baby.
This is the modern world, this is the modern world,
Take a good look ‘cos your children’ll ask you what did you see?
Instr.
Modern world x 4
4. No work for Bill, it ain’t a laugh,
He’s getting’ frightened as the years roll past.
No money to make Mary his wife,
Drinks to the wasteland that’s that left of his life.
Ch: This is the modern world, this is the modern world,
This is the modern world, for us baby.
This is the modern world, this is the modern world,
This is the modern world for us baby.
Choruses to end. |
