lyrics

You think your life’s over but truth is it never began
Decade through decade, you try to hold onto the plan
Then you settle down with the first to pay you attention
You keep your head down, pretend you know how to have fun.

You slave in a job just enough to keep grasping along
Wake up late at night cos you realise that you’re all alone
You drink and you drive and you cheat and you lie and you reach for the button your self destruct mind and you dream for the time when you felt sound of mind and you cry and you cry ‘til your heart has run dry

This is the real thing! This modern living thing sucks!

The world keeps on turning you’ve always got more stuff to do
Like chasing the life goals your parents have told you to choose
You eat then you buy then you eat and you buy and you try to pretend that your life won't pass by so you eat peace of mind and you buy and you buy and you buy away time whilst the world burns inside

Take what you wanted, take what you needed

This is the real thing! This modern living thing sucks!
