Modern World Songtext
von Thunder Jackson

I′m tired
I swear I'm not a hedonist at heart
We′re not broken from the start
So why pretend?

I'm tired
I don't want a sedative again
Oh, there′s things I′d tell my friends
We play pretend

I wish they knew
But no one knows

If you wanna keep a secret
Better keep it from yourself
Had a dream of Jesus
Oh, he's been in better health

Oh, he said, "Don′t you tell anyone
You're scared to walk the line
Don′t you tell anyone
You're scared to try again"


I tried
But you′re as stubborn as a mule
Oh, I've tried to play the fool
And make you laugh

Oh, we don't cry
′Cause no one ever told us that we could
Now the water doesn′t come
It's gone dry

I wish you knew
But no one knows

If you wanna keep a secret
Better keep it from yourself
I had dream of Jesus
Oh, he′s been in better health

Oh, he said, "Don't you tell anyone
You′re scared to walk the line
Don't you tell anyone
You′re scared to try again"

The modern world
So focused on communication
So why do I have difficulty ever facing you
The truth?


If you wanna keep a secret
Better keep it from yourself
I had dream of Jesus
Oh, he's been in better health

Oh, he said, "Don't you tell anyone
You′re scared to walk the line
Don′t you tell anyone
You're scared to try again"

No, I′m not scared to try again
No, I'm not scared to try again
No, I′m not scared to try again
