Modern Guilt Songtext
von Beck

Hey-ee-yay-ee, hey
A-hey, hey-hey-hey-hey hey-hey
Da-na da-da-da-da

I feel uptight when I walk in the city
I feel so cold when I′m at home
Feels like everything's starting to hit me
But lost my bearings ten minutes ago

Modern guilt, I′m stranded with nothin'
Modern guilt, I'm under lock-and-key
Misapprehension is turning into convention
Don′t know what I′ve done but I feel ashamed


Standing outside the glass on the sidewalk
These people talk about impossible things
And I'm falling out of the conversation
And I′m a pawn piece in a human shield

Modern guilt is all in our hands
Modern guilt won't get me to bed
Say what you will, smoke your last cigarette
Don′t know what I've done but I feel afraid

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-ee, da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da
