Modern Life Lyrics

Modern Life Song Lyrics

---

It's a modern life but it's not what you're lookin' for
Whoa, it's a modern life
It's a modern life but it's not what it's supposed to be
Whoa, it's a modern life

The potential was there but it got tossed in the can
Too many corkscrews to carry out the plan
You're tryin' to make a difference but you're just another man

It's a modern life but it's not what you're looking for
Whoa, what you're lookin' for

Whoa, time to let it go
It's a modern life but it's not what it's supposed to be
Whoa, it's a modern life
It's a modern life but it looks like it came from a zoo
Whoa, like it came from a zoo

You had a different idea but now you're just out of luck
You hunt a bargain just to save a buck
Now you're still on the job and it looks like you're stuck

It's a modern life but it's not what you're lookin' for
Whoa, it's a modern life
It's a modern life but it reads better on TV
Whoa, it's a modern life

Time to pay up, motherf**ker

It's a modern life but it's not what it's supposed to be
Whoa, it's a modern life
It's a modern life but it looks like it came from a zoo
Whoa, like it came from a zoo

You had a different idea but now you're just out of luck
You hunt a bargain just to save a buck
Now you're still on the job and it looks like you're stuck

It's a modern life but it's not what you're lookin' for
Whoa. It's a modern life

Time to pay up, motherf**ker

It's a modern life but it's not what it's supposed to be
Whoa. It's a modern life

Time to pay up, motherf**ker

It's a modern life but it's not what you're lookin' for
Whoa. It's a modern life
It's a modern life but it's not what you're lookin' for
Whoa. It's a modern life
It's a modern life but it's not what you're lookin' for
Whoa. It's a modern life
