From the recording Modern Man (Single Version)
Lyrics
He's a modern man
And he's working very hard
Since he's trying to advance
But he can't get far
He's a modern man
Who's become a bore
Takes the 6AM
From the northern shore
He arrives at eight
Drinks his coffee cold
In a line he waits
The story's told
About the modern man
Modern man
Everyone can tell him what he mustn't do
They will even try to change his point of view
Better get your act together modern man
Nobody on earth will ever understand
About the modern man
Modern man
Modern man
Who emerges from the hole
Takes the BMT
Trades a token for his soul
He's a Modern Man
Who's been taken for the ride
But he's learned how to feel
He knows he can survive
He's a modern man
He's a modern man
He's a modern man
