Modern Man

In this world of substitutes for love How can I Make decisions? In this world of self-assertive styles What's it mean when you smile at me? How can I know what you mean If you won't define your terms How will I know How to play, the rules are vague What should I say If you say yes but you really mean no Should I just go away? In this world of self-fulfilling lies Why should I tell the truth? In this world of systems within systems How can I know where I stand? How can I know where I stand If you won't define your terms How will I know how to play? The rules are vague What should I say? If you say you're mine But you mean I'm yours Should I just go away? If it's all a joke I don't get it If it's all a joke I can't take it Can't look in the past It's a fiction There's nobody to ask for an answer I'm a modern man without a station If you can tell me something Give me a call
