1. Junkies are robbinâ your car and your home,
The pound in your pocketâs goinâ way down.
Alarms, loud music, yeah who wants to sleep,
A symphony of violence to darken your street.
2. Nuclear power plants waitinâ to go wrong,
The hole in the ozone, aids and terrorist bombs,
London where I liveâs lookinâ really third world,
Yeah, tell me tell me, whatâs happening girl.
Ch: This is the modern world, this is the modern world,
This is the modern world, for us baby.
This is the modern world, this is the modern world,
Yeah take a look, tell me what do you see.
3. Ex-mental patient itâs all gone wrong,
Nothinâ he can do, heâs too far gone.
Sleepinâ on the pavement, walk by on the other-side,
Count down the days, to his suicide.
Ch: This is the modern world, this is the modern world,
This is the modern world, for us baby.
This is the modern world, this is the modern world,
Take a good look âcos your childrenâll ask you what did you see?
Instr.
Modern world x 4
4. No work for Bill, it ainât a laugh,
Heâs gettingâ frightened as the years roll past.
No money to make Mary his wife,
Drinks to the wasteland thatâs that left of his life.
Ch: This is the modern world, this is the modern world,
This is the modern world, for us baby.
This is the modern world, this is the modern world,
This is the modern world for us baby.
Choruses to end.
