Modern World - The Vibrators

1. Junkies are robbin' your car and your home,\nThe pound in your pocket’s goin' way down.\nAlarms, loud music, yeah who wants to sleep,\nA symphony of violence to darken your street.\n2. Nuclear power plants waitin' to go wrong,\nThe hole in the ozone, aids and terrorist bombs,\nLondon where I live’s lookin' really third world,\nYeah, tell me tell me, what’s happening girl.\nCh: This is the modern world, this is the modern world,\nThis is the modern world, for us baby.\nThis is the modern world, this is the modern world,\nYeah take a look, tell me what do you see.\n3. Ex-mental patient it’s all gone wrong,\nNothin' he can do, he’s too far gone.\nSleepin' on the pavement, walk by on the other-side,\nCount down the days, to his suicide.\nCh: This is the modern world, this is the modern world,\nThis is the modern world, for us baby.\nThis is the modern world, this is the modern world,\nTake a good look ‘cos your children’ll ask you what did you see?\nInstr.\nModern world x 4\n4. No work for Bill, it ain’t a laugh,\nHe’s getting' frightened as the years roll past.\nNo money to make Mary his wife,\nDrinks to the wasteland that’s that left of his life.\nCh: This is the modern world, this is the modern world,\nThis is the modern world, for us baby.\nThis is the modern world, this is the modern world,\nThis is the modern world for us baby.\nChoruses to end.
