LYRICS

    INTRO
    This is a modern world, This is the modern world.

    VERSE 1
    What kind of fool do you think I am?
    To think I know nothing of the modern world.

    MID EIGHT(i)
    All my life it's been the same,
    I've learnt to live by hate and pain,
    It's my inspiration trap.

    VERSE 2
    I've learnt more than you'll ever know,
    Even at school I felt quite sure,

    MID EIGHT(ii)
    That one day I would be on top,
    Another dot upon the map,
    The teachers who said I be nothing!

    CHORUS
    This is the modern world that I've learnt abHTTP/1.0 400 Cache Detected Error
