Gatsby's American Dream - Modern Man lyrics
Your rating:
While I lie awake, They're dreaming of me And how much I'll take Before I'm empty Think a little do a lot, And take whatever hits the spot, And whatever free time ya got They'll write down everything you bought "Look here!" they say, "This shit is new, And our pockets got their eyes on you, And with everything that you consume, You can't see we're consuming you" Put the penny in the pot, Now you're fucked, your hand is caught While I lie asleep they are taken from me Oh modern man, what have you become? Look at the landscape, Raspberry skies, the ivory lake I hope I never awake Look at the landscape (oh modern man) Raspberry skies, the ivory lake (what have you done?) I hope I never awake I know that I can change 'em if I try hard enough, 'Cause we still believe their pockets always belong to us Oh modern man, what have you done? You took my home and dirtied it up Oh modern man, what have you done? You took my home
