Concentrate
Out of the rain, I burst in through the front door
Soaking and bleeding again I hit the floor spinning
Backpack on my back, it's weighing me down
Weighing me down, weighing me down.
I think it's that I don't know kids and they don't know me
But I know one thing, that I'm safer in my room
I've got the internet, I meet friends on MSN,
Friends' friends, friends' friends, they tell me
Don't put stuff in your backpack that'll scare the
Shit out of kids, that chase you in the street
That'd help me out... That'd help me out
That'd help me out... That'd help me out
But after a while I get tired,
They try to get me to study but I've got things to do...
I've got homework too
'Cause they don't know my dad
He's this town through and through
Old school fifty-something balding racist
And so his mates are too
But me I'm a modern man!
Me I'm a modern man!
I'm a modern man a wo-ooah
I'm a modern man a wo-ooah
And I think I'm intelligent
I think I'm open minded
And I think I've got a world view
And there're not many people like me round here I can tell you
And I think I'm the future
And I think I'm dead, if I lose track
'Cause they don't know my dad
He's this town through and through
Old school fifty-something balding racist
And so his mates are too
But me I'm a modern man!
Me I'm a modern man!
I'm a modern man a wo-ooah
I'm a modern man a wo-ooah
Yeah me I'm a modern man
Me I'm a modern man
I'm a modern man a wo-ooah
I'm a modern man a wo-oo-oo-aaahhh
yeah-ahhh oh
Soaking and bleeding again I hit the floor spinning
Backpack on my back, it's weighing me down
Weighing me down, weighing me down.
I think it's that I don't know kids and they don't know me
But I know one thing, that I'm safer in my room
I've got the internet, I meet friends on MSN,
Friends' friends, friends' friends, they tell me

That'd help me out... That'd help me out
That'd help me out... That'd help me out

Me I'm a modern man!
