lyrics

the modern man

Where you gonna go this time
You’re running from your shadow you know
And all the things our daddys said
Are only things inside our heads

So you wanna hate me, aha
Say you wanna hate yourself
Don’t be the centre of attention
No you’ll only find your peace at rest

But you worry like your mother
They say you’ve got your brothers eyes
But cousin Johnnies faster (he makes us very proud)
Don’t you just wish you were more alive

Where you gonna go this time
You’re running from your shadow you know
The things our daddy’s said
Are only things inside your head

Your mind’s a conversation
But your bank accounts a circus freak
Oh the sheriffs at the window (oh no)
Don’t tell me modern man has lost his fuse

With the modern occupation
Put it in my pocket and I take it with me
Well the grass is always greener on the other side
So come on over here and won’t you give it a ride

Where you gonna go this time
You’re running from your shadow you know
The things our daddy’s said
Now only things inside your head

Where you gonna build this home
They’re running out of castles made of stone
And all the roads you’re on
Are just the ones that he ran on
