lyrics

Shots heard ‘round the world today
Forty more bodies on the floor of a dorm
Another sick bastard blew a fuse 
And refuse to be taken down without a storm
These events are cause to query
Just where we all went wrong
What kind of crazy creature Solves their problems with a gun?

Modern mother lost her mind
Blindly threw her babies off a bridge
Without a care for consequence 
I guess she just got tired of her kids
Or maybe she can’t stand to bare
The future they’ll have to face 
Of course it’s just a cop out 
She can’t stand the human race  

I am just a modern man 
Living in the world without a plan
Just another modern man 
Waiting for the shit to hit the fan

Modern man in a traffic jam 
Still can’t read the writing on the wall 
The more things change they stay the same 
The game’s called kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall 
And I’d hate to break the bad news
The U.S. will be no less
‘Cause fear’s the latest fashion
Primal passion at its best

I am just a modern man 
Living in a world without a plan
Just another modern man 
Waiting for the shit to hit the fan

Just run and run and run around the treadmill
Like a rabbit in a cage
