Modern Times
[Intro]
Modern times pushing me
I can feel it in my bones
When I'm out on the streets
There's a digital ghost that never sleeps
But hey, we're living the dream
[Chorus]
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Modern times pushing me
I can feel it in my bones
When I'm out on the streets
There's a digital ghost that never sleeps
But hey, we're living the dream
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
[Verse 1]
Oh my
I'm keeping it light
It's a sign of the times
But we don't talk about it
(We don't talk about it anymore)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm running through a wall
But I just can't feel the pain
Doctor says it ain't real
I guess I got bricks in my brain
Let's keep it light
It's a sign of the times
[Chorus]
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Modern times pushing me
I can feel it in my bones
When I'm out on the streets
There's a digital ghost that never sleeps
But hey, we're living the dream
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
[Verse 2]
Fight, flight, freeze, feel it
I'ma be right back, gimme three minutes
Trying to do the math, but I can't
These digits, they don't make any sense
Mos Def, please fix it
Add another couple hundred million
To the couple billion people living in poverty
Really, all these numbers getting realer by the year
It's nothing new, but yo, it's flawed
'Cause they're numbers in our head
Instead of humans in our heart
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm running through a wall
But I just can't feel the pain
Doctor says it ain't real
I guess I got bricks in my brain
Let's keep it light
It's a sign of the times
[Chorus]
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Modern times pushing me
I can feel it in my bones
When I'm out on the streets
There's a digital ghost that never sleeps
But hey, we're living the dream
But hey, we're living the dream
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Modern times pushing me
I can feel it in my bones
When I'm out on the streets
There's a digital ghost that never sleeps
But hey, we're living the dream, oh
Modern times pushing me
I can feel it in my bones
When I'm out on the streets
There's a digital ghost that never sleeps
But hey, we're living the dream
[Outro]
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
We're living the dream
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
We're living the dream
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
We're living the dream
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
We're living the dream
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
