Modern Girl

Once a beautiful Miss America married Mr. Right

Had a little baby girl, born on a stormy night

But that was once upon a time

Now it's a brand new world

Gimme the future, gimme the future

Gimme the future with a modern girl

Gimme the future, gimme the future

Gimme the future with a modern girl

Somewhere just between the past

And something dawning new

There's a break in the chain, a skip in the clock

Girl, that's where I'm gonna find you

Between the boy I was before

And what I'm gonna be

There's a clash on the border, a flame in the sky

Girl, that's where you gonna find me

Can't you hear the planet groaning like a broken down machine?

Rusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens

But you and I stand innocent

Baby, it's a brand new world

Gimme the future, gimme the future

Gimme the future with a modern girl

Gimme the future, gimme the future

Gimme the future with a modern girl

(Gimme the future, gimme the future)

(Gimme the future with a modern girl)

We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway

(Gimme the future, gimme the future)

Laughing while the road maps blow away

(Gimme the future with a modern girl)

We're the son and the daughter and we ain't afraid

(Gimme the future, gimme the future)

Won't be making the mistakes our fathers made

(Gimme the future with a modern girl)

(Gimme the future, gimme the future)

Oh, gimme the future with a modern girl

(Gimme the future, gimme the future)

Oh, gimme the future with a modern girl

Once a beautiful Miss America married Mr. Right

Had a little baby boy, born on a stormy night

But that was once upon a time

Now it's a brand new world

(Gimme the future, gimme the future)

Gimme the future with a modern girl

(Gimme the future, gimme the future)

Gimme the future with a modern girl

(Gimme the future, gimme the future)

Oh, gimme the future with a modern girl

(Gimme the future, gimme the future)

Oh, won't you gimme the future with a modern girl?

(Gimme the future, gimme the future)

Oh, won't you gimme the future with a modern girl?

We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway

(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
