Modern Man (Live at the Town and Country Club, London, 1986)

歌詞

Say hello to the modern man Who does the best, well, that he can And it's not hard to criticize He wants to get in the football team And have a laugh and yell and scream Well that's no crime... it can be fun sometimes Oh, he comes for you while you're asleep Oh, you can't say no it makes you weak. Say hello to the modern man, He got nowhere to go, cigarette in his hand Sits in a plane, swings from a tree He never had to work like you and me. That's a fact He used to care about important things Like doing his hair and wearing rings But that was just a phase and he grew out of it. Now he says, 'Hey, look at me, I got my new boots on down by the sea' well that's no crime, he does it all the time. Yes he does. Oh, he comes for you while you're asleep Oh, you can't say no it makes you weak. Say hello to the modern man, He got nowhere to go, cigarette in his hand Sits in a plane, swings from a tree He never had to work like you and me. That's a well-known fact The times I dream of, days of old The men were strong and knights were bold Modern Man came down among us Gave us truth, eleven plus And then he sends us all the dramas Left us there in our pajamas Trying hard to see the sun And live a life back on the run It's true... He comes for you while you're asleep Yes he does, yes he does Oh, you can't say no it makes you weak. Say hello to the modern man, He got nowhere to go, cigarette in his hand Sits on a plane, he swings from a tree He never had to work like you and me. Take a look at the modern man who does the best, well, that he can and it's not hard to criticize in fact it can be fun sometimes.
