Heyyyy  da da dada da
I  feel uptight when I walk in the city
I  feel so cold when I'm at home
Feels  like everything's starting to hit  me
I  lost my bearings ten minutes ago
Modern guilt,  I'm stranded with nothing
Modern guilt,  I'm under lock and key
Misapprehension turning  into convention
Don't  know what I've done
   (Bb7---F7)
 But I feel ashamed
Standing  outside the glass on the sidewalk
These  people talk about impossible things
And  I'm falling out of the conversation
And  I'm a pawn piece in a human shield
Modern guilt  is all in our hands
Modern guilt  won't get me to bed
Say  what you will, smoke  your last cigarette
Don't  know what I've done
   (Bb7---F7)
 But I feel afraid
 (Ride the Ebm for a bar)
Da  da da
Da  da da
Da  da da
Da  da da
