I'm not in love with the modern world I'm not in love with the modern world It was a torch driving the savages back to the trees Modern world has more ways And I don't mention it since it's changed While the people go out and the people come home again It's gotta last to build up your eyes And a lifetime of red skies And from my bed the sound of your haunted hissing in my bed Modern world don't ask why Cause modern world will build things high Now they house canyons filled with life Modern world I'm not pleased to meet you You just bring me down Modern world I'm not pleased to meet you You just bring me down Modern world I'm not pleased to meet you You just bring me down Modern world I'm not pleased to meet you You just bring me down
