Modern Struggle

It’s the modern struggle, Satan lurking in the sand
Offering all of these pleasures just to hurt another man
Like we’re back inside the garden, got the apple in my hand
Everything I ever wanted, if I bite it I am banned
‘Cause Satan’s on the TV
All those PG-13 movies are now PG
Sexually implicit scenes that we are leaving in so our kids see these
Meaning they’re contaminated ‘fore they reach teens
Not gonna gloss over all the problems of the culture
Why do you think that the most popular movie was the Joker?
‘Cause a lot of people broken, they want a whole makeover
Got their guns all cocked and loaded, it’s about to boil over
It’s the modern struggle, Satan lurking in the sand
Offering all of these pleasures just to hurt another man
Like we’re back inside the garden, got the apple in my hand
Everything I ever wanted, if I bite it I am banned
I’m the zeitgeist, I’m the spirit of the land
If you listen to me now, you will not fear another man
There’s a prophet in your presence, I don’t think you understand
I was sent here just to tell you there’s a battle on our hands
When pornography’s one click away
You gotta be so concentrated every night and day
And make sure you don’t ever slip up in the slightest way
‘Cause a little splash can turn into a tidal wave, just one bite is all it takes
That’s how he controls you when you’re feelin’ really weak
He may wait until it’s dark, then he gets you in your sleep
If you ever thought you’re safe, then you’re mistaken he’s a beast
Keep on fightin’ when you mess up and you’ll never taste defeat
It’s the modern struggle, Satan lurking in the sand
Offering all of these pleasures just to hurt another man
Like we’re back inside the garden, got the apple in my hand
Everything I ever wanted, if I bite it I am banned
I’m the zeitgeist, I’m the spirit of the land
If you listen to me now, you will not fear another man
There’s a prophet in your presence, I don’t think you understand
I was sent here just to tell you there’s a battle on our hands
This is more than tragic, everything is pornographic
Satan tore us at our core and he distorted our imaginations, tore ‘em into fragments
Now we mourn ‘til we get back our broken culture that is shattered
Where’s the torch? I’m gonna grab it
It’s the modern struggle, Satan lurking in the sand
Offering all of these pleasures just to hurt another man
Like we’re back inside the garden, got the apple in my hand
Everything I ever wanted, if I bite it I am banned
I’m the zeitgeist, I’m the spirit of the land
If you listen to me now, you will not fear another man
There’s a prophet in your presence, I don’t think you understand
I was sent here just to tell you there’s a battle on our hands
It’s the modern struggle, Satan got us in a trance
We don’t see just how he’s living in our laps
When I become famous all the angels gonna dance
‘Cause they know that I have come to free the people from his traps
There’s a battle for your soul, there’s a battle for your life
Demons fighting for control, even when they’re out of sight
Better watch out how you roll, when you’re in a paradise
Don’t you ever take the gold, every pleasure has its price
In the modern struggle
