From the view in the office on the sixteenth floor And that you gained 21 years for Staring out the window at the big billboard To remind you what you're fighting for It's this guy's life with his flawless smile His beautiful wife and his perfect child Sense of pride in being this guy you choose And remind yourself this tie is not a noose
Freedom is not a coffee break with your boss Each leap freed the pre-destined stop And Xerox one hundred times And one hundred people got really bored you to write And we can all be bored as a team after all Ain't that the American Dream? If that's the dream and you can't shake it up Then please wake me up
The world's closing in, I'm kicking out They can't hear me when I shout Modern life, modern life has let me down Its soul destroying, don't you love it? You can take this job and shove it Modern life, modern life has let me down
Modern life, modern life has let me down Modern life, modern life has let me down
At home you slam the door of your 4X4 That you never have and never will have a use for And take a walk through the uniform lawn Knowing that you'll die in the town you were born A pre-packaged meal, a pre-packaged plate In front of the TV on a pre-packaged tray The choice to be free, but we choose to be like everybody else
The world's closing in, I'm kicking out They can't hear me when I shout Modern life, modern life has let me down Its soul destroying, don't you love it? You can take this job and shove it Modern life, modern life has let me down
Modern life, modern life has let me down Modern life, modern life has let me down
Whatever happened to the love and the unity? The building up of the community? Cos now it's all opportunity It's like the ocean is tainted with impurity So when the norm is the lunacy And they tell you to jump, do you agree? And if I don't, well, they're suing me It's like you don't know what you do to me
When you shut me up, and you shout me out And you tell me life ain't never worth a doubt That it's all planned out, how I'll be living Dangle like a carrot, to keep me driven And now I'm killing anything I'm given Cos' I will never give in I'll take a hammer, and with precisions Tear up the newspaper And smash the television
The world's closing in, I'm kicking out They can't hear me when I shout that Modern life, modern life has let me down Its soul destroying, don't you love it? You can take this job and shove it Modern life, modern life has let me downTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
