It all about status updates sample drum brakes

A hole in the head and the lifelong Monday

Baby bloomers and new computers

Social networks billion users

Information Infomercials

Crop circles and trophy wives

Hard drives and hate crimes

State lies free steak knives

Right-wrong riots and rising tides

Catalogs buy and a lord of brides

Brand names and video games

All it takes in minimum wage

Wiki leaks in the world of police

Secret files and cover up leads

The hunger the feast

The church and the priest

And the prelate facing the east

East

This modern world

Keeps me spinning around

My god my feet

Don't touch the ground

You can live life online

You can live a life of crime

You can live mine

Whatever you want you can find

You can get fined

You can get filmed from behind

It's a gold rush let's get famous

Act shameless call it neighbors

You can call it art

You can call it us

You can call it pop

And watch it climb the charts

High rollers and child soldiers

Party people and jive holders

Cash culture and clashed cultures

Market crashes atlas shrugs

It's a leaky boat that we're all in

And the privileged life is a-callin'

Through the country's boarders you're pourin'

Put your hands up now the sky is fallin'

This modern world

Keeps me spinning around

My god my feet

Don't touch the ground

This modern world

Keeps me spinning around

My god my feet

Don't touch the ground

We are alive in desperate times

The best of times messed up times

Build that fire chase that prize

Everybody wants a bigger piece of the pie

These are the days of the disconnect

Distant satellites intercept

Warfare fought in infrared

Everything you think is incorrect

My intellect needs disinfectant

Too much information

Too hectic

Twenty-first century I'm shipwrecked in it

And we're all just tryin' to connect with it

And oh my god where do I fit in

Apocalypse now every now and then

The world is a book with a cliffhanger plot

And we all want to know how it ends

This modern world

Keeps me spinning around

My god my feet

Don't touch the ground
