Lyrics
Modern Times
Uncertain days run before us,
Troubled days not far behind
Sometimes you don't know the road you're on
Until you pass the warning signs
Late last night it was raining
The moon turned from worried to blind
I've never been so wet and cold before
But I kept you in my mind
It don't matter how you play the game
Somebody's got to lose
Just as long as you can play again
That's the best that you can do
Oh, oh, these modern times
So many chances to lose
Oh, I feel so lost sometimes
Caught in these memories of you
I hold my breath while I'm dreaming
To keep from drowning alone
I sail in oceans of demons
With angels singing your song
My friends all think that I'm normal
I fool the rest, I get along
But when I'm lost in these thoughts of you
I can't be trusted at all
It don't matter how you play the game
Somebody's got to lose
Just as long as you can play again
That's the best that you can do
Oh, oh, these modern times
So many chances to lose
Oh, I feel so lost sometimes
Caught in these memories of you
