Danny O'Keefe - Livin' In The Modern Age lyrics

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
