modern days

The Kooks

Something's telling me I got to turn 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
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
(In the modern days)
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
In the modern days
We live for these 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
In the 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
We live for these 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
