The Modern World Songtext
von The Jam

This is the modern world
This is the modern world
What kind of fool do you think I am?
You think I know nothing of the modern world

All my life it′s been the same
I've learned to live by hate and pain
It′s my inspiration drive
I've learned more than you'll ever know
Even at school I felt quite sure
That one day I would be on top
And I′d look down upon the mob
The teachers who said I′d be nothing


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
This is the modern world

Say what you like ′cause I don't care
I know where I am and going to
It′s somewhere I won't grieve 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, this is
Hey, we don't need no one
To tell us what′s right or wrong

This is the modern world
This is the modern world
