Songtext
Junkies are robbing your car and your home
The pound in your pocket's going way down
Alarms, loud music, yeah, who wants to sleep?
A symphony of violence to darken your street
Nuclear power plants waiting to go wrong
The hole in the ozone, AIDS and terrorist bombs
London, where I live's looking really third world
Yeah, tell me, tell me what's happening, girl
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
This is the modern world for us, baby
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
Yeah, take a look, tell me, what do you see?
X-men, old patient, it's all gone wrong
Nothing he can do, he's too far gone
Sleeping on the pavement, walked by on the other side
Count down the days to his suicide
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
This is the modern world for us, baby
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
Take a good look, it shouldn't ask you, what did you see?
Modern world
Modern world
Modern world
Modern world
No work for Bill, it ain't a laugh
He's getting frightened as the years roll past
No money to make, Mary, his wife
Drinks to the wasteland that's left of his life
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
This is the modern world for us, baby
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
This is the modern world for us, baby
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
This is the modern world for us, baby
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
Yeah, take a good look, tell me, what do you see?
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
This is the modern world for us, baby
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
Yeah, take a good look, tell me, what do you see?
