Joelistics - Modern World lyrics
It all about status updates, sample drum brakes A hole in the head, and the lifelong Monday Baby bloomers and new computers Social networks, billion users Information, Infomercials Crop circles and trophy wives Hard drives and hate crimes State lies, free steak knives Right-wrong riots and rising tides Catalogs buy and a lord of brides Brand names and video games All it takes in minimum wage Wiki leaks in the world of police Secret files and cover up leads The hunger, the feast The church and the priest And the prelate facing the east (East!) This modern world Keeps me spinning around My god, my feet Don't touch the ground You can live life online You can live a life of crime You can live mine Whatever you want you can find You can get fined You can get filmed from behind It's a gold rush, let's get famous Act shameless, call it neighbors You can call it art You can call it us You can call it pop And watch it climb the charts High rollers and child soldiers Party people and jive holders Cash culture and clashed cultures Market crashes, atlas shrugs It's a leaky boat that we're all in And the privileged life is a-callin' Through the country's boarders you're pourin' Put your hands up now the sky is fallin' This modern world Keeps me spinning around My god, my feet Don't touch the ground This modern world Keeps me spinning around My god, my feet Don't touch the ground We are alive in desperate times The best of times, messed up times Build that fire, chase that prize Everybody wants a bigger piece of the pie These are the days of the disconnect Distant satellites intercept Warfare fought in infrared Everything you think is incorrect My intellect needs disinfectant Too much information Too hectic Twenty-first century I'm shipwrecked in it And we're all just tryin' to connect with it And oh my god where do I fit in Apocalypse now every now and then The world is a book with a cliffhanger plot And we all want to know how it ends This modern world Keeps me spinning around My god, my feet Don't touch the ground
