Modern Lives Lyrics
Well I called up the President
And asked him where the money went
He told me that it all got spent
Long before I ever learned to drive
“How’s that kid, you satisfied?”
Oh now do us all a favor and go
Buzz along your modern life.”
Well I turned on the evening news
Another white man sings the blues
Telling me I’m gonna lose
Unless we all wake up and choose a side.
“C’mon son, where’s your pride?”
Well sir, it’s hard to catch my breath
When I been drowning in my modern life.
No you can’t fool me,
Your Time Square looks like a graveyard
I got a billboard for my headstone
And a car horn for my eulogy.
I don’t know but it’s been said
There’s bound to be good times ahead
You might get rich, you might get dead
Either way, I’m waiting for a sign
Oh my lord, you know I’m trying.
But it don’t feel like easy winning
When I’m spinning in my modern life.

Well you can’t fool me,

And a car horn for my eulogy.

Long before I ever learned to drive
“How’s that kid, you satisfied?”
Oh Now do us all a favor and go
Buzz along your modern life.”
Wont you do us all a favor
And go buzz on your modern life.
