LYRICS

INTRO

This is a modern world, This is the modern world.

VERSE 1

What kind of fool do you think I am?

To think I know nothing of the modern world.

MID EIGHT(i)

All my life it's been the same,

I've learnt to live by hate and pain,

It's my inspiration trap.

VERSE 2

I've learnt more than you'll ever know,

Even at school I felt quite sure,

MID EIGHT(ii)

That one day I would be on top,

Another dot upon the map,

The teachers who said I be nothing!

CHORUS

This is the modern world that I've learnt about,

This is the modern world we don't need no-one,

To tell us whats right or wrong.

VERSE 3

Say what you like cos I don't care,

I know where I am and going to.

MID EIGHT(ii)

It's somewhere I won't preview,

To have to explain myself to you,

I don't give two fucks about you if you.*

CHORUS

This is the modern world that I've learnt about,

This is the modern world we don't need no-one,

To tell us whats right or wrong.

OUTRO

Modern world this is this is this is this is,

This is this is this is,

Hey we don't need no-one,

To tell us whats right or wrong,

Ahh, This is a modern world, this is the modern world.

Not to sure about the solo, try it and see.
