So I wait my turn, I'm a modern man And the people behind me, they can't understand Makes me feel like, makes me feel like So I wait in line, I'm a modern man And the people behind me, they can't understand Makes me feel like, something don't feel right Like a record that's skipping, I'm a modern man And the clock keeps ticking, I'm a modern man Makes me feel like, makes me feel like In my dream I was almost there Then you pulled me aside and said, "You're going nowhere" They say we are the chosen few but we're wasted And that's why we're still waiting On a number from the modern man Maybe when you're older you will understand Why you don't feel right, why you can't sleep at night now? In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man Oh, I had a dream I was dreaming And I feel I'm losing the feeling Makes me feel like like something don't feel right I erase the number of the modern man Want to break the mirror of the modern man Makes me feel like, makes me feel like In my dream I was almost there Then you pulled me aside and said, "You're going nowhere" I know we are the chosen few but we're wasted And that's why we're still waiting In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man And you feel so right but how come you can't sleep at night? In line for a number but you don't understand like a modern man I'm a modern man, I'm a modern man I'm a modern man, I'm a modern man
