When they talk about nothin' do you still listen?
When they tell you who they really are do you really care?
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Modern life will get you no matter how far you run
When Jesus tore up that temple was it that simple?
Did he catch a whiff of his own death in that den of thieves?
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Oh modern life will get you no matter how far you run
Cause there's hippies diggin' their last ditches out'n the country
While the richest buildin' rockets to escape this scene
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Oh modern life will get you no matter how far you run
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Oh modern life will get you no matter how far you run
When they sing about nothing do you sing along?
When they sell you their soul is it just a song?
Oh modern life will get you no matter how far you run
Modern life will get you from the very day that you were born
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Cause modern life will get you from the very day that you were born
And modern life will get you no matter how far you run
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Cause modern life will get you from the very day that you were born
And modern life will get you no matter how far you run
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Oh Modern life
