History of Modern, Part II Songtext
von Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

The first mistake
Is when you take
What you thought you′d changed for granted

All that's certain runs aground
All is lost that had been found

The next mistake
Is when you break
Every rule that you invented

Can you feel it coming down?
Can′t you see if all around?


Tear the picture from the page
Let the dog out of the cage
And surrender to the rage
I don't wanna think you care

The last mistake
You ever make
Thinking modern's new forever

Can you feel it coming down?
Can′t you see it all around?

Tear the picture from the page
Let the dog out of the cage
And surrender to the rage
I don′t wanna think you care

Tear the picture from the page
Let the dog out of the cage
And surrender to the rage
I don't wanna think you care
