A modern guy, living in the modern age. There is no moral to this story. He's just a modern guy.
lyrics
Bought a mansion on a hill, got no furniture
Get my financial advice from a raconteur
Ask a simple question, question's “Do or die?"
The devil's in the answer, I’m just a modern guy
Good and evil, right for wrong
I turn a blind eye
All may change, but I remain
Just a modern guy
I’m just a modern guy
I’m just a modern guy
Trepidation, introspection, the truth I can't deny
The time has come, to declare
I’m just a modern guy
(chorus)
Oooh....
I’m just a modern guy
Oooh....
I’m just a modern guy
The truth be told, and I just may lie
When everything is said and done
I’m just a modern guy
If it wasn't for my mobile device, and my wireless box
My software packets, my cables coax
Satellite and the cloud, on which I rely
The error message flashing on my computer screen reads
I’m just a modern guy
Watched a movie on my laptop
Starring Terrence Stamp
Un piccolo film d'oscuro
Called “Toby Dammit"
He played a fading actor
“Celebrity!"
Medicated beyond existence, and reality
He stole an argent sports car
And came to an abandoned bridge
Saw an angel/devil girl
He's on the edge
In the end, you just know,
He's gonna die
There's no moral to this story
He's just a modern guy
(chorus)
Oooh....
I’m just a modern guy
Oooh....
I’m just a modern guy
The truth be told, and I just may lie
When everything is said and done
I’m just a modern guy.
*(repeat chorus)
