Modern Age Songtext
von We Were Evergreen

I don′t wanna lay down low, I don't wanna lay down low
I tried a long while ago, all I got was vertigo
I could never learn to choose, I could never learn to choose
Gave me complimentary shoes for my post-depression blues
I don′t need a holiday, I don't need a holiday
I have other cats to warm and masks to go before I sleep

Bottle it up and just put some in the
Instant morning coffee I just made myself
Swallow me up and I give myself to anyone
Who'll pretend that I′m more than second best

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

I don′t want to buy your love, I don't want to buy your love
I can download it for free every night of the week
I′ll never be good enough, I'll never be good enough
How can I ever compete? They are gonna outdate me
I wish I could scroll up right, I wish I could scroll up right
Flicking back to the first page, I won′t miss the modern age
Age, the modern age, the modern age


Bottle it up and just put some in the
Instant morning coffee I just made myself
Swallow me up and I give myself to anyone
Who'll pretend that I′m more than second best

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Spin another yarn, I try, I don't wanna look behind
Now that would be wasted time, that would be wasted time
If I had another try, I could maybe turn out fine
Yeah, you see it's not so bad
Yeah, you see it′s not so bad, aren′t you glad?

Bottle it up and just put some in the instant
Morning coffee I just made, the coffee I just made
Swallow me up and I give myself to anyone who'll pretend
That I′m not the one, who'll pretend that I′m not the one
Bottle it up and just put some in the instant
Morning coffee I just made, the coffee I just made
Swallow me up and I give myself to anyone who'll pretend
That I′m not the one, who'll pretend that I'm not the one
Who′ll pretend that I′m not the one
Who'll pretend that I′m not the one
Who'll pretend that I′m not the one
Who'll pretend that I′m not the one
