Modern Times Lyrics
These Modern Times
Aren’t what they’re supposed to be
These Modern Times
They’re killing me by degrees
I try and understand
As far as I can
It wasn’t like this
When it all began
How have we become what we are today
Tell me how can we go on this way
In these Modern Times
These Modern Times
Are for those who take
These Modern Times
Are made for those who want to hate
Tell me are we going forwards towards the light
Or are we going backwards into the night
Self-love is the order of the day
No-one should complain or dare get in the way
Of these Modern Times
These Modern Times
Are about the greed disease
These Modern Times
Are dark days for those in need
People moving too fast
Nothing’s built to last
Love has become just a four letter word
From your partners lips these words won’t be heard
The wind don’t blow and the bells don’t chime
In these Modern Times
These Modern Times
Are out of control
These Modern Times
Strip away your body and soul
The fires are smoking from the East to the West
I don’t stop hoping nor do I get depressed
Has everyone else here lost their minds
Even the poets have forgot how to rhyme
In These Modern Times
