Lyrics
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
