Modern Days - The Kooks

Something’s telling me I got to walk away

From the life I had I shouldn’t hesitate

Walk like an animal into the world of glass

Seems so fragile yeah, nothing was built to last

All the lovers you had

All the lives that you led mean nothing

It’s trickling down

And I can’t hear a sound they make

In the modern days

We live for these modern days

Oh babe we live for these modern days

We live for these modern days

Oh babe we live for these modern days

This is bigger than the fear of atom bombs

The truth is on sale at your local restaurant

The time for selling out has been and gone and died

Music lover in a whirlwind not your time

Afraid of the shadows I send

I know I got to get up to the ceiling again

Put me out of my misery now

I won’t slip away

But I know what I want you to say

And the atoms in my heart all pray together

I’ll hold you forever

In the modern days

We live for these modern days

Oh babe we live for these modern days

We live for these modern days

Oh babe we live for these modern days

We live for these modern days

Oh babe we live for these modern days

We live for these modern days

Oh babe we live for these modern days

Way up in my room

Telling all my secrets

In the modern days

In the modern days

Oh babe we live for these modern days

In the modern days

We live for these modern days

Oh babe we live for these modern days
