Modern Man

So I wait my turn, I'm a modern man

And the people behind me, they can't understand

Makes me feel like

So I wait in line, I'm a modern man

And the people behind me, they can't understand

Makes me feel like

Something don't feel right

Like a record that's skipping

I'm a modern man

And the clock keeps ticking

I'm a modern man

Makes me feel like

In my dream I was almost there

Then they pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere

They say we are the chosen few

But we waste it

And that's why we're still waiting

On a number from the modern man

Maybe when you're older you will understand

Why you don't feel right

Why you can't sleep at night now

In line for a number but you don't understand

Like a modern man

In line for a number but you don't understand

Like a modern man

Oh I had a dream I was dreaming

And I feel I'm losing the feeling

Makes me feel like

Like something don't feel right

I erase the number of the modern man

Want to break the mirror of the modern man

Makes me feel like

In my dream I was almost there

Then they pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere

I know we are the chosen few

But we waste it

And that's why we're still waiting

In line for a number but you don't understand

Like a modern man

In line for a number but you don't understand

Like a modern man

If it's alright

Then how come you can't sleep at night?

In line for a number but you don't understand

Like a modern man

I'm a modern man
