The alarm goes off, another Monday morning

Just one more time you wake up in this mess

And baby it scares you but you catch yourself

You do whatever you do to face the test

I know you feel alone in this great big world machine

It's crazy, but maybe there's a soul somewhere out there

Who's just like you now what are you waiting for

Baby don't mourn what might have been

Here's the only world we're living in

This is the Modern World, this is the Modern World

This is the Modern World, and this is all it's going to be

Living in the Modern World

Yeah, The telephone rings, another faceless caller

You're not a soul you're just a number

You're looking at families living on the street

Where mama can't buy her baby enough to eat

We all feel alone, in this great big world machine

But baby, just maybe listen to your heart

I don't know just what you're waiting for

Cause baby here's just where you begin

In the only world we're living in

This is the Modern World, This is the Modern World

This is the Modern World, and this is all it's going to be,

Living in the Modern World
