We like to think we know it all
Solve the problems, make the laws
Wealth has helped us build a state
Made our lives much easier
But did we want this after all
Some say we were better before
Are our minds and souls well
Or are they too now up for sale
On this blinded quest for glory
We've lost touch with our inner needs
On this rigid race for fortune
We've trampled each other to d**h
I'm a modern man
With modern woes
Filled with fear
From head to toes
Too much things
And too little time
Lock me up
For my crimes
Are we happy, are we sad
Are we perfect, are we bad
Out of sight and out of mind
Are we deaf or are we blind
At what point did we forget
To cherish loved ones not neglect
We want it all we want it bad
So much that some of us become mad
On this blinded quest for glory
We've lost touch with our inner needs
On this rigid race for fortune
We've trampled each other to d**h
I'm a modern man
With modern woes
Filled with fear
From head to toes
Too much things
And too little time
Lock me up
For my crimes
Who will we listen and who will tell
Who still has a soul to sell
This is a race that no one wins
Still a race that everyone begins
The funny thing about it all
Is that we all know the score
Even though we want to turn
This thing will leave us burnt
On this blinded quest for glory
We've lost touch with our inner needs
On this rigid race for fortune
We've trampled each other to d**h
I'm a modern man
With modern woes
Filled with fear
From head to toes
Too much things
And too little time
Lock me up
For my crimes
