So I wait my turn, I'm a modern man 
And the people behind me, they can't understand 
Makes me feel like 
Makes me feel like 

So I wait in line, I'm a modern man 
And the people behind me, they can't understand
Makes me feel like 
Something don't feel right 

Like a record that's skipping 
I'm a modern man
And the clock keeps ticking 
I'm a modern man 
Makes me feel like 
Makes me feel like 

In my dream I was almost there 
And you pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere They say we are the chosen few 
But we're wasted 
And that's why we're still waiting 
On a number from the modern man
Maybe when you're older you will understand
Why you don't feel right 
Why you can't sleep at night now 

In line for a number but you don't understand 
Like a modern man 
In line for a number but you don't understand 
Like a modern man 

Oh I had a dream I was dreaming 
And I feel I'm losing the feeling 
Makes me feel like 
Like something don't feel right 
I erase the number of the modern man 
Want to break the mirror of the modern man 
Makes me feel like 
Makes me feel like

In my dream I was almost there 
But you pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere 
I know we are the chosen few 
But we're wasted 
And that's why we're still waiting 
In line for a number but you don't understand 
Like a modern man 
In line for a number but you don't understand 
Like a modern man 

And you feel so right 
But [bad word] you can't sleep at night? 
In line for a number but you don't understand 
Like a modern man 

I'm a modern man 
I'm a modern man 
I'm a modern man 
I'm a modern man
