Modern World

Mary's selling flowers on a stall that is C-1 Tonight, she'll be out looking for some fun Her mate, Gerry's in the basement He hasn't got a home But prides himself that he's got most things done Meanwhile, I'm up on the roof Waiting for the sun to shine I haven't got an excuse So, I'll just keep my head down David's in the city, he's just made a deal And the boys, they want to take his trousers down So they buy some little pills Which will make poor David ill And they find themselves in some club downtown Meanwhile I got off the roof 'Cause the rain keeps pouring down And I haven't got a clue Why there's faith in all these clowns This is the modern world This is the modern world Jim and Jane hit the grapevine 'Cause they're looking for a party A secret number knows where it can be found So, they pick up Pete and Sheila They head down the M-40 But someone said they closed the country down Meanwhile, I've locked myself in the kitchen Waiting for the storm to pass And if there's too much damage I think I'll get the fuck out fast This is the modern world This is the modern world This is the modern world This is the modern world This is the modern world
