Tw Walsh - The Modern Age lyrics

Fast cars and a flashy watch Twenty-five dollar wine and single barrel scotch You worked hard for everything you got and that's a lot Won't read no fiction books Eating every dish that the government cooks You kneel at ma** when gravity pulls you in The modern age is just what you needed Your shoes all shined and your pants all pleated You can buy your food with the money from your job I ain't saying i'm better than you I got pride in the things i used to know how to do But i'm vain, self-destructive and full of regret The deaf gods got turned around Put birds in the sky and man on the ground Put beauty into light And blindness into sound Windows on the wall And sequins on the gown Coals on the fire And diamonds on the crown Angels in the heavens And demons all around
