Modern Girl

Once a beautiful Miss America married Mr. Right
 Had a little baby girl, born on a stormy night
 But that was once upon a time, now it's a brand-new world
 Gimme the future, gimme the future
 Gimme the future with a modern girl
 Gimme the future, gimme the future
 Gimme the future with a modern girl
 Somewhere just between the past, and somethin' dawnin' new
 There's a break in the chain, a skip in the clock
 Girl, that's where I'm gonna find you
 Between the boy I was before, and what I'm gonna be
 There's a clash on the border, a flame in the sky
 Girl, that's where you gonna find me
 Can't you hear the planet groanin', like a broken down machine
 Rusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens
 But you and I stand innocent, baby, it's a brand-new world
 Gimme the future, gimme the future
 Gimme the future with a modern girl
 Gimme the future, gimme the future
 Gimme the future with a modern girl
 (Gimme the future, gimme the future
 Gimme the future with a modern girl)
 We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway
 (Gimme the future, gimme the future)
 Oh, laughin' while the road maps blow away
 (Gimme the future with a modern girl)
 We're the son and the daughter and we ain't afraid
 (Gimme the future, gimme the future)
 Won't be makin' the mistakes our fathers made
 (Gimme the future with a modern girl)
 (Gimme the future, gimme the future)
 Oh, gimme the future with a modern girl
 (Gimme the future, gimme the future)
 Oh, gimme the future with a modern girl
