Modern Times
When the school burnt down
And the factory closed
When all the lights went out
It was the final blow
And how are we supposed to move on
How do we read the signs
Yeah, it's hard enough growing up
In these modern times
Hope deferred would make the best of us sick
I ask if you're okay
You say I am getting used to it
Used to have visions of being something
Now you close your eyes and just see nothing
Just trying to get by
Growing up in these modern times
You don't see it now
But maybe down the road
This will all make sense
Maybe then we'll know
Why did things have to fall apart
Under the weight of gravity
Now I'm blinded by the darkness
Open my eyes to see
Hope deferred would make the best of us sick
I ask if you're okay
You say I'm getting used to it
Used to have visions of being something
Now you close your eyes and just see nothing
Just trying to get by
Growing up in these modern times
It's all we have, and it's all we'll ever know
Time, it's like a thread, unravelling so
I will not forget
To make the most of what we have
What sunlight's left
Used to have visions of being something
Now you close your eyes and just see nothing
Just trying to get by
Growing up in these modern times
And the factory closed
When all the lights went out
It was the final blow
And how are we supposed to move on
How do we read the signs
Yeah, it's hard enough growing up
In these modern times
Hope deferred would make the best of us sick
I ask if you're okay
You say I am getting used to it
Used to have visions of being something
Now you close your eyes and just see nothing
Just trying to get by
Growing up in these modern times
You don't see it now
But maybe down the road
This will all make sense
Maybe then we'll know
Why did things have to fall apart
Under the weight of gravity
Now I'm blinded by the darkness
Open my eyes to see
Hope deferred would make the best of us sick
I ask if you're okay
You say I'm getting used to it
Used to have visions of being something
Now you close your eyes and just see nothing
Just trying to get by
Growing up in these modern times
It's all we have, and it's all we'll ever know
Time, it's like a thread, unravelling so
I will not forget
To make the most of what we have
What sunlight's left
Used to have visions of being something
Now you close your eyes and just see nothing
Just trying to get by
Growing up in these modern times
