Modern Fables

Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh I founded a faith I built it on modern fables The stories were true They just didn't make much sense The reminder that's been forgotten In the hope that we need not know We dissolved in our own solution All the promises we made long ago I founded a faith You called it a false religion I said you were right It's nothing to do with god It's the novel that won't be written It's the letter that no one sends It's the jury without decision And we've already reached the end, because This machine can barely function Under the weight of rocks and bones But we can continue making progress If we never know Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh I founded a faith You said it was raw and foolish But left all alone You gave in and joined the throng You embraced all the sweet delusions Let your constant reminder go The result's a foregone conclusion And your countenance tells us so, now listen This machine can barely function From running around the neighbour's bend But there's nothing to stop us making progress If we just pretend Come on, let's pretend We're really, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh We're really, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Come on and let's pretend (Modern fables, they will tell the truth of anyone) We're really, ooh, ooh, ooh (Modern fables, they will tell the truth of anyone) Come on and let's pretend (Modern fables, they will tell the truth of anyone) Ah, ooh, ah, ooh, ooh, ooh (Modern fables, they will tell the truth of anyone)
