Lyrics
She was wearing her black dress, he was wearing his button-down
They were exchanging glances that's when the jukebox was playing loud
He told the bartender to send down a round, whatever it is that she wants
They both know that they got what it takes to transform this place from cool
To hot hot hot, yea
CHORUS:
We're just modern people in modern times
Living modern dreams (woah)
They can take what they want
But we'll do as we please
We got it under control
Everybody's losing their identity
They're just faces with no names
He's undressing you with dexterity
Or is he playing mind games (yeah yeah)
With all the epidemics lingering around do you really think they should get down? (down down)
We take our chances when we walk out the door
The clock is ticking, world is spinning around, and around, and around
CHORUS:
We're just modern people in modern times
Living modern dreams (woah)
They can take what they want
But we'll do as we please
We got it under control
BRIDGE:
We're just modern people, in modern times
CHORUS:
We're just modern people in modern times
Living modern dreams (woah)
They can take what they want
But we'll do as we please
We got it under control
We got it under control
We got it under control
He was holding her black dress
She was wearing his button down
