| I used to listen to the birds sing |
| On my way to work |
| But now it’s late in the evening |
| 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 wanna make a difference but you’re not inspired |
| But it, it won’t change, it’s 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, it’s 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 wanna make a difference but you’re not inspired |
| But it, it won’t change, it’s 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, it’s the modern day |
| Modern day |
| (It won’t change, it’s the modern day) |
| Modern day |
| (It won’t change, it’s 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 wanna make a difference but you’re not inspired |
| But it, it won’t change, it’s 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, it’s the modern day |
| Modern day |
| (It won’t change, it’s the modern day) |
