Modern Times

(album: Modern Times - 1981)

When I was a young boy I drove my mother crazy
When I was a young man I drove my teachers wild
Oh whoa oh whoa nobody to control me
Oh whoa modern lover I need you near me

[CHORUS]
Never want to leave ya
Never want to leave ya
Never want to leave ya
No no no no no

Reality anonymous is coming after me
They want me shaking they want me screaming
Outside 12 year olds are carrying machine guns
They give the orders I must be dreaming

Everywhere I go 'n' everything I see
It's all starting to look like
Some strange mythology
Where is the spirit where is the fire

[REPEAT CHORUS]

And then I broke in two
Ya don't really think everything is really
The way you thought you thought it was did you
I broke in two but now I think it's time to move

Move
Move
Move
Move me

Watch out
Machine gun machine gun
Oh whoa oh whoa nobody to control me
Oh whoa oh whoa nobody to convince me
That everything is just gonna be o-k

Never gonna leave ya
Never gonna leave ya
Never gonna leave ya
No no no no no
No no no no no
No no nobody to control me
