Modern Man - Arcade Fire

So I wait my turn, I’m a modern man

And the people behind me, they can’t understand

Makes me feel like, makes me feel like

So I wait in line, I’m a modern man

And the people behind me, they can’t understand

Makes me feel like, something don’t feel right

Like a record that’s skipping, I’m a modern man

And the clock keeps ticking, I’m a modern man

Makes me feel like, makes me feel like

In my dream I was almost there

Then you pulled me aside and said, «You're going nowhere»

They say we are the chosen few but we’re wasted

And that’s why we’re still waiting

On a number from the modern man

Maybe when you’re older you will understand

Why you don’t feel right, why you can’t sleep at night now?

In line for a number but you don’t understand like a modern man

In line for a number but you don’t understand like a modern man

Oh, I had a dream I was dreaming

And I feel I’m losing the feeling

Makes me feel like like something don’t feel right

I erase the number of the modern man

Want to break the mirror of the modern man

Makes me feel like, makes me feel like

In my dream I was almost there

Then you pulled me aside and said, «You're going nowhere»

I know we are the chosen few but we’re wasted

And that’s why we’re still waiting

In line for a number but you don’t understand like a modern man

In line for a number but you don’t understand like a modern man

And you feel so right but how come you can’t sleep at night?

In line for a number but you don’t understand like a modern man

I’m a modern man, I’m a modern man

I’m a modern man, I’m a modern man
