Modern World Lyrics
1. Junkies are robbin’ your car and your home
The pound in your pocket’s goin’ way down
Alarms, loud music, yeah who wants to sleep
A symphony of violence to darken your street
2. Nuclear power plants waitin’ to go wrong
The hole in the ozone, aids and terrorist bombs
London where I live’s lookin’ really third world
Yeah, tell me tell me, what’s happening girl
Ch: 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
3. Ex-mental patient it’s all gone wrong
Nothin’ he can do, he’s too far gone
Sleepin’ on the pavement, walk by on the other-side
Count down the days, to his suicide
Ch: 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 ‘cos your children’ll ask you what did you see?
Instr
Modern world x 4
4. 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 that left of his life
Ch: 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
Choruses to end
