** he’s too straight and you can wait
Modern man
I’ve only got time for a few, and not you
Modern man
I’ll push you hard, I can’t know you
Modern man
’cause then we’d have to be friends, and that just won’t do
Modern man, modern man

* living tomorrow is everyone’s sorrow
Modern man’s daydreams have turned into nightmares

It’s for you that I sing to share what I feel
Modern man
The things I need in this world
Modern man
If you don’t like it, you can leave me alone
Modern man, modern man
’cause when I talk to you I want to hang up the phone
Modern man, modern man
