Ben Harper The Modern World Lyrics

The Modern World Lyrics



( The Jam Cover )



This is the modern world

This is the modern world



What kind of fool do you think I am?

To think I know nothing of this modern world

All my life it's been the same

I've learnt to live by hate and pain

It's my inspiration drive

I've learnt more than you'll ever know

Even at school I felt quite sure

That one day I would be on top

Another dot upon the map

The teachers who said I be nothing!



This is the modern world that I've learnt about

This is the modern world we don't need no-one

To tell us whats right or wrong



Say what you like 'cause I don't care

I know where I am and going to

It's somewhere I won't preview

To have to explain myself to you

I don't give a damn about you if you



This is the modern world that I've learnt about

Yeah- this is the modern world we don't need no-one

To tell us whats right or wrong

This is, this is, this is, this is, this is

This is, this is

Yeah-

This is, this is, this is, this is, this is

This is, this is, this is

We don't need no-one

To tell us whats right or wrong

Ah

This is the modern world

This is the modern world
