Lyrics:
[Verse 1] From the view in the office on the 16th floor That you gave 21 years for Staring out the window at the big billboard To remind you what your fighting for It's this guy's life with his flawless smile His beautiful wife and his perfect child So to buy and be this guy you choose And remind yourself that your tie is not a noose Freedom is not a coffee break with your boss Eat, sleep, breathe at pre-destined stops And Xerox 100 times Now 100 people read what bored you to write And we can all be bored as a team after all Ain't that the American dream? If that's the dream and you can't shake it up Then please wake me up [Chorus] The world's closing in I'm kicking out They can't hear me when I shout That modern life Modern life has let me down It's soul-destroying, don't you love it? You can take this job and shove it Modern life Modern life has let me down [Post-Chorus] Modern life, modern life, modern life Has let me down Modern life, modern life Has let me down [Verse 2] Come home and slam the door of your 4x4 That you never had and never will have a use for And take a walk through the uniform lawn Knowing that you'll die in the town you were born A pre-packaged meal A pre-packaged plate In front of the tv on a pre-packaged tray The choice to be free And we choose to be like everybody else [Chorus] The world's closing in I'm kicking out They can't hear me when I shout That modern life Modern life has let me down It's soul-destroying, don't you love it? You can take this job and shove it Modern life Modern life has let me down [Post-Chorus] Modern life, modern life, modern life Has let me down Modern life, modern life Has let me down [Verse 3] Whatever happened to the love and the unity The building up of the community? 'Cause now it's all opportunity It's like the ocean's tainted with impurity So when the norm is the lunacy And they tell you to jump do you agree? And if I don't, well, they're suing me It's like you don't know what you do to me Well, you shut me up and you shout me out And you tell me like there never was a doubt That it's all planned out How I'll be living Dangle a carrot to keep me driven But now I'm killing anything I'm given 'Cause I will never give in I'll take a hammer And with precision Tear up the newspaper And smash the television [Chorus] The world's closing in I'm kicking out They can't hear me when I shout That modern life Modern life has let me down It's soul destroying don't you love it? You can take this job and shove it Modern life Modern life has let me down [Post-Chorus] Modern life, modern life, modern life Has let me down Modern life, modern life Has let me down Modern life, modern life, modern life Has let me down Modern life, modern life Has let me down Modern life, modern life Has let me down Modern life, modern life Has let me down
