Modern Times Lyrics

Modern Times lyrics

when I was a young boy I drove my mother crazy 

when I was a young man I
drove my teachers wild 

oh whoa oh whoa nobody to con-trol me 

oh
whoa modern lover I need you near me 



CHORUS 

never want to
leave ya 

never want to leave ya 

never want to leave ya 

no
no no no no 



reality anonymous is comin' after me 

they want
me shakin' they want me screamin' 

outside 12 year olds are carryin'
machine guns 

they give the orders I must be dreamin' 



everywhere I go 'n' everything I see 

it's all startin' to look like


some strange mythology 

where is the spirit where is the fire 



REPEAT CHORUS 

 

 and then I broke in two 

ya don't
really think everything is really 

the way you thought you thought it was
did you 

I broke in two but now I think it's time to move 



move 

move 

move 

move me 



watch out 

machine gun machine gun 

oh whoa oh whoa nobody to control me 

oh whoa oh whoa nobody to convince me 

that everything is just gonna
be o-k 



never gonna leave ya 

never gonna leave ya 

never gonna leave ya 

no no no no no 

no no no no no 

no
no nobody to control me
