Lyrics for The Modern World

This is the modern world This is the modern world What kind of fool do you think I am? You think I know nothing of the modern world All my life it's been the same I've learnt to live by hate and pain It's my inspiration drive I've learnt more than you'll ever know Even at school I felt quite sure That one day I would be on top And I'd look down upon the map The teachers who said I'd be nothing This is the modern world that I've learnt about This is the modern world we don't need no one To tell us what's right or wrong This is the modern world Say what you like 'cause I don't care I know where I am and going to It's somewhere I won't preview Don't have to explain myself to you I don't give two fucks about your review This is the modern world that I've learnt about This is the modern world we don't need no one To tell us what's right or wrong Modern word, this is, this is, this is This is, this is, this is, this is Hey, we don't need no one To tell us what's right or wrong This is the modern world This is the modern world
