Modern Day

I used to listen to the birds sing On my way to work But now it's late in the evenin' And they're nowhere to be heard Take for granted all the little things What I'd do to break our foolish sins When everything's in flames Head underwater whilst the world's on fire You're sitting in a corner watching time expire You want to make a difference but you're not inspired But it it won't change is the modern day And everyone seems happy but they're not inside Cover up the cracks with another lie Burying the hatchet just to say goodbye But it it won't change is the modern day And now I hate hearing the clock ring Wish it would go in reverse Because the time that we are lost in Is only making it worse Incandescent underneath your skin Light me up and watch the choir sing Whilst everything's in flames Head underwater whilst the world's on fire You're sitting in a corner watching time expire You want to make a difference but you're not inspired But it it won't change is the modern day And everyone seems happy but they're not inside Cover up the cracks with another lie Burying the hatchet just to say goodbye But it it won't change is the modern day (Modern day) (It won't change is the modern day) (Modern day) (It won't change is the modern day) If we can change then we go forward Head underwater whilst the world's on fire You're sitting in a corner watching time expire You want to make a difference but you're not inspired But it it won't change is the modern day And everyone seems happy but they're not inside Cover up the cracks with another lie Burying the hatchet just to say goodbye But it it won't change is the modern day (Modern day) (It won't change is the modern day)
