Modern World
(Ugh)
(Hit me)
I punched the clock today at the job that hates me back
I count the minutes 'till I go
I keep my pay-stubs and they've grown to quite a stack
Still I got no cash to get me home
"Thanks for your interest, we're not hiring at this time
But we'll keep you in our file" Mmm-
I'm getting used to this, and take it as a sign
It's time to find another style
I'm surviving (I'm surviving)
In a modern world
I plug my ears against the roar
I'm colliding (I'm colliding)
With the modern world
Hoping that there is something more, yeah-
I go to the bank to get the money for my rent
They say my chequebook's overdrawn
(Money money money money)
I can't imagine where the money all got spent
Where has all the money gone
I'm surviving (I'm surviving)
In a modern world
I plug my ears against the roar
(Uhh, huh)
I'm colliding (I'm colliding)
With the modern world
Hoping that there is something
With all these friends, you'd think they'd help me through this time
But they don't want to hear my trip (Uh)
If I don't get this out I'm gonna step across that line
All alone I gotta keep my grip
(Come on)
I'm surviving (I'm surviving)
In the modern world
I plug my ears against the roar
(Ooh-hoo)
I'm colliding (I'm colliding)
With the modern world
Hoping that there is something more, yeah-
I'm surviving (I'm surviving)
In the modern world
I'm colliding (I'm colliding)
With the modern world
I'm surviving (I'm surviving)
In the modern world
I'm colliding (I'm colliding)
(Hit me)
I punched the clock today at the job that hates me back
I count the minutes 'till I go
I keep my pay-stubs and they've grown to quite a stack

I'm surviving (I'm surviving)
In the modern world
I'm colliding (I'm colliding)
