This is a modern world, This is the modern world

What kind of fool do you think I am? 

To think I know nothing of the modern world. 

All my life it's been the same, 

I've learnt to live by hate and pain, 

It's my inspiration trap. 

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 cos 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 two fucks about you if you. 

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. 

Modern world this is this is this is this is, 

This is this is this is, 

Hey we don't need no-one, 

To tell us whats right or wrong, 

Ahh, This is a modern world, this is the modern world
