Gonna get to it tomorrow, but they don't care at call They're gonna ease your pain and sorrow, but we heard the same before All my loving friends taking nothin home And I can't be the one to let trouble come
All their homes are broken, and what are they gonna do There's no magic potion, their lieing days are through Love and lust go hand in hand Everything turned to dust in our promised land
Take away the chain, and watch your past go by While your lies are red, leave me alone to cry In these modern times
Gonna scream it on a mountain to every valley wide It's all your money they're counting, and to your face they lie Put on your work boots Momma in your morning gown Tell me day-to-day, they're already in the ground
See the way they explain, watch your past go by Would you die for it, leave me alone to cry
In these modern times, in these modern times, in these modern times
