Lyrics to Modern Times
Modern Times Video:
MODERN TIMES(Sullivan/Nelson) 1992It seems strange to write about these things nowbut the time has probably come when we shouldaccept whatever is past and gone and never will return.Looking back to the beginningI see a flood of painful memoriesand the bitter hurt and wounded pride that comes with our defeatWe set out with our heads held high,so sure our ground, our righteousness,the new Jerusalem to be built with love and guts and truthBut in the end we surrendered easily.It's no use pretending otherwise . . .well most of us had a little something to lose, enough to break our nerve.Well, some of us made an easy peace and moved into the Brave New World;it's hard for the true believers to look back now and realisethat for many of the crowd it was just the fashion, the cause of the moment,well we if anyone should konw that you can look pretty dumbstanding in last year's clothes.And some of us, shell-shocked still, ran for shelter and do the ritualsthe same old way pretending that someone out there caresAnd some of us live in the modern world.We give unto Caesar what is dueand harbour the bitterness of defeat and daydreams of revenge.Now nothing you see out there is real,It matters not what you believe in.It matters less what you say but only what you are.It matters what you are. It matters what you are.Published by Attack Attack Music/Warner Chappell Music Ltd
