It's a modern life, but it's not what you're lookin' for
Whoa, it's a modern life
It's a modern life, but it's not what it's 'sposed to be
Whoa, it's a modern life

The potential was there, but it got tossed in the can
Too many corkscrews to carry out the plan
You're tryin to make a difference, but you're just another man

It's a modern life, but it's not what you're looking for
Whoa, what you're lookin' for

Whoa, time to let it go
It's a modern life, but it's not what it's 'sposed to be
Whoa, it's a modern life
It's a modern life, but it looks like it came from a zoo
Whoa, like it came from a zoo

You had a different idea, but now you're just out of luck
You hunt a bargain just to save a buck
Now you're still on the job, and it looks like you're stuck

It's a modern life, but it's not what you're lookin' for
Whoa, it's a modern life
It's a modern life, but it reads better on TV
Whoa, it's a modern life
Time to pay up for the fuck up

It's a modern life, but it's not what it's 'sposed to be
Whoa, it's a modern life
It's a modern life, but it looks like it came from a zoo
Whoa, like it came from a zoo

You had a different idea, but now you're just out of luck
You hunt a bargain just to save a buck
Now you're still on the job, and it looks like you're stuck

It's a modern life, but it's not what you're lookin' for
Whoa, it's a modern life

Time to pay up for the fuck up

It's a modern life, but it's not what it's 'sposed to be
Whoa, it's a modern life

Time to pay up for the fuck up

It's a modern life, but it's not what you're lookin' for
Whoa, it's a modern life
It's a modern life, but it's not what you're lookin' for
Whoa, it's a modern life
It's a modern life, but it's not what you're lookin' for
Whoa, it's a modern life
