This is the modern world
This is the modern world

What kind of fool do you think I am (whoa)
To think I know nothin' 'bout the modern world (whoa)
All my life is spent on spite
I won't turn my head in ?
Is my inspiration dry

I know more than you'll ever know
Even in school I felt quite sure
That one day I'd be on top
And I'd look down upon the ?
The teachers' descent don't mean a thing

This is the modern world that I've learned about
This is the modern world
We don't need no one
To tell us what's right or wrong

Say what you like 'cause I don't care (whoa)
I know what I am and going to
Is somewhere I won't see you
Don't have to explain myself to you
I don't give two fucks about your view

This is the modern world that I've learned about
This is the modern world
We don't need no one
To tell us what's right or wrong
Modern world, this is, this is, this is
This is, this is, this is
No we don't need no one
To tell us what's right or wrong, wrong

This is the modern world
This is the modern world
