[Verse]
He's too straight and you can wait
I'm Modern Man
I've only got time for a few, and not you
I'm Modern Man
I'll push you hard, I can't know you
I'm Modern Man
Cause then we'd have to be friends, and that just won't do
Modern Man, Modern Man

[Chorus]
Living tomorrow is everyone's sorrow
Modern Man's daydreams have turned into nightmares

[Verse]
That's why I sing; to share what I feel
I'm Modern Man
The things I need in this world
I'm Modern Man
If you don't like it, you can leave me alone
Modern Man, Modern Man
When I talk to you I want to hang up the phone
I'm Modern Man, a Modern Man

[Chorus]
Living tomorrow is everyone's sorrow
Modern man's daydreams have turned into nightmares
[Verse]
He's too straight and you can wait
I'm Modern Man
I've only got time for a few, and not you
I'm Modern Man
I'll push you hard, I can't know you
I'm Modern Man
Cause then we'd have to be friends, and that just won't do
I'm Modern Man, Modern Man

[Chorus]
Living tomorrow is everyone's sorrow
Modern man's daydreams have turned into nightmares
