This is the modern world
Lyrics:
This is the modern world, this is the modern world
What kind of fool do you think I am?
You think I know nothing of the modern world
All my life has been the same, I've learned to live by hate and pain
It's my inspiration drive
I've learned more than you'll ever know
Even in school I felt quite sure
That one day I would be on top, and I'd look down upon the map
The teachers who said I'd be nothing
This is the modern world that I've learned about
This is the modern world, we don't need no one to tell us what's right or wrong
Say what you like, 'cause I don't care
I know where I am and going too
It's somewhere I won't preview, don't have to explain myself to you
I don't give two fucks about your review
This is the modern world that I've learned about
This is the modern world, we don't need no one to tell us what's right or wrong
We don't need no one to tell us what's right or wrong
This is the modern world, this is the modern world
