[Verse 1]
I'm not in love with the modern world
I'm not in love with the modern world
It was a torch driving the savages back to the trees
Modern world has motorways
And automation in a senseless chain
While the people go out and the people come home again

[Verse 2]
It's got lies to build up your eyes
And a lifetime of red skies
And from my bed, the sound of haunting, hissing in the bed
Modern world don't ask why
Cause modern world will build things high
Now they house canyons filled with life

[Refrain]
Modern world, I'm not pleased to meet you
You just bring me down
Modern world, I'm not pleased to meet you
You just bring me down
Modern world, I'm not pleased to meet you
You just bring me down
Modern world, I'm not pleased to meet you
You just bring me down
Modern world, I'm not pleased to meet you
You just bring me down
