Lyrics
Every day is like a blur
I just wanna
Get back to the ritual
One of us
Is gonna be the one to burn
Soon or later
It might as well be you
I want to be a man of the modern age
Skimming off the top and paying minimum wage
Spitting in your face and spitting on your grave
Living in the land of the home of the brave
I want to be a man of the modern age
Taming the shrew and rattling the cage
Manipulating lines on the balance sheet
Innovating ways to turn bums into meat
Slow down
Look around
Take off your mask
Don’t look that way
Something isn’t right
I want to see the light
I want to feel it on the skin
If I could take a pill
To really pierce the veil
Make sense of the dissonance
Someone got their feelings hurt
Just a little
It happens all the time
I want to push you far down
Inner monologue
It’s a brittle state of mind
I want to be a man of the modern age
Put my DNA in a cryospace
Bring me back to life in a better place
Transcending limits of the human race
I want to be a man of the modern age
Drinking young blood, purified, high grade
A fountain of youth that is custom-made
Hide my prestige in the Everglades
I want to be a man of the modern age
Looking down at all of you from outer space
In my isolation pod with a fireplace
Colonize the moon and start a proper race
I want to be a man of the modern age
Harnessing the hate and honing in on the rage
Beating every day into the dirt of the past
Hold onto the future, it’ll never last
Never last
Never last
Never last
Never last
Never last
Never last
Never last
Never last
