Modern Man - The Bolshoi

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
