Modern Man

Lyrics

So I wait my turn, I'm a modern man
 And the people behind me, they can't understand
 Makes me feel like
 Makes me feel like
 So I wait in line, I'm a modern man
 And the people behind me, they can't understand
 Makes me feel like
 Something don't feel right
 ♪
 Like a record that's skipping
 I'm a modern man
 And the clock keeps ticking
 I'm a modern man
 Makes me feel like
 Makes me feel like
 In my dream I was almost there
 Then you pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere
 They say we are the chosen few
 But we're wasted
 And that's why we're still waiting
 On a number from the modern man
 Maybe when you're older you will understand
 Why you don't feel right
 Why you can't sleep at night now
 ♪
 In line for a number but you don't understand
 Like a modern man
 In line for a number but you don't understand
 Like a modern man
 Oh I had a dream I was dreaming
 And I feel I'm losing the feeling
 Makes me feel like
 Like something don't feel right
 I erase the number of the modern man
 Want to break the mirror of the modern man
 Makes me feel like
 Makes me feel like
 In my dream I was almost there
 Then you pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere
 I know we are the chosen few
 But we're wasted
 And that's why we're still waiting
 In line for a number but you don't understand
 Like a modern man
 In line for a number but you don't understand
 Like a modern man
 And you feel so right
 But how come you can't sleep at night?
 In line for a number but you don't understand
 Like a modern man
 I'm a modern man
 I'm a modern man
 I'm a modern man
 I'm a modern man
