O'Keefe
Found the blues at the curb on Broadway
Lost in a pearly grin
She said, Ain't it hard to make a comeback
When you don't know who you've been?
Livin' in the Modern Age
She said, Yes, sir, we're livin' in the Modern Age
Ain't it hard to go beggin'
When you never learned to steal
Even the street's an illusion
Pain and hunger are real, though
Livin' in the Modern Age
Yes, sir, we're livin' in the Modern Age
Ah, pick it up and shake it, baby
Careful not to break
It may be the only one you'll ever have
Ain't it hard to paint your picture
When your colors bleed and run
Silence may be golden still
When all is said and done
We're livin' in the Modern Age
