| 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 |
