Paroles de Modern Life Has Let Me Down

The King Blues
From the view in the office on the 16th floor,
That you gave 21 years for,
Staring out the window at the big bilboard,
To remind you what your fighting for,
It's this guys life with his flawless smile,
His beautiful wife and his perfect child,
So to buy and be be this guy you choose,
And remind yourself that your tie is not a noose,
Freedom is not a coffee break with your boss,
Eat, sleep, breath at pre-destined stops,
And Xerox 100 times,
Now 100 people read what bored you to write,
Cos we can all be bored as a team after all,
Ain't that the American dream?
If that's the dream and you can't shake it up,
Then please wake me up
The worlds closing in,
I'm kicking out,
They can't hear me when I shout,
That modern life,
Modern life has let me down
It's soul destroying don't you love it?
You can take this job and shove it,
Modern life,
Modern life has let me down
Modern life, Modern life, Modern life,
Has let me down
Modern life, Modern life,
Has let me down
Come home and slam the door of your 4x4,
That you never had and never will have a use for,
And take a walk through the uniform lawn,
Knowing you will die in the town you were born,
A pre-packaged meal,
A pre-packaged plate,
In front of the tv on a pre-packaged tray,
The choice to be free,
And we choose to be like everybody else
The worlds closing in,
I'm kicking out,
They can't hear me when I shout,
That modern life,
Modern life has let me down
It's soul destroying don't you love it?
You can take this job and shove it,
Modern life,
Modern life has let me down
Modern life, Modern life, Modern life,
Has let me down
Modern life, Modern life,
Has let me down
Whatever happened to the love and the unity,
The building up of the community,
Cos now it's all opportunity,
It's like the ocean's tainted with impurity,
So when the norm is the lunicy
And they tell you to jump do you agree?
If I don't well they're suing me,
It's like you don't know what you do to me,
Well you shut me up and you shout me out,
And you tell me like there never was a doubt,
That it's all planned out,
How I'll be living,
They dangle a carrot to keep me driven,
But now I'm killing anything I'm given,
Cos I will never give in,
I'll take a hammer,
And with precisition,
Tear up the newspaper,
And smash the television
The worlds closing in,
I'm kicking out,
They can't hear me when I shout,
That modern life,
Modern life has let me down
It's soul destroying don't you love it?
You can take this job and shove it,
Modern life,
Modern life has let me down
Modern life, Modern life, Modern life,
Has let me down
Modern life, Modern life,
Has let me down
