He’s too straight and you can wait. Modern man. I’ve only got time for a few, and not you. Modern man. I’ll push you hard, I can’t know you. Modern man. cause then we’d have to be friends, and that just won’t do. Modern man, Modern man. Living tomorrow is everyone’s sorrow. Modern man’s daydreams have turned into nightmares. It’s for you that I sing to share what I feel Modern Man The things I need in this world Modern Man If you don’t like it, you can leave me alone Modern man, Modern man cause when I talk to you I want to hang up the phone Modern man, Modern man Living tomorrow is everyone’s sorrow. Modern man’s daydreams have turned into nightmares. He’s too straight and you can wait. Modern man. I’ve only got time for a few, and not you. Modern man. I’ll push you hard, I can’t know you. Modern man. cause then we’d have to be friends, and that just won’t do. Modern man, Modern man.

Verse I:
F Dflat
I've got nothing to say,
I've got nothing to do,
F Gsharp
all of my neurons are functioning smoothly
Dflat Eflat F
yet still I'm a cyborg just like you.
F Dflat
I'm one big myoma that thinks,
my planet supports only me,
F Gsharp
I've got this one big problem will I live forever?
Dflat Eflat f
I've got just a short time to see.
Chorus:
F Gsharp Eflat F-Eflat-F
Modern man - evolutionary betrayer,
modern man - ecosystem destroyer,
Modern man - destroy yourself in shame,
F Gsharp Dflat Eflat
modern man - pathetic example of earth's organic heritage.
verse II(same as above):
When I look back and think, when I ponder and ask "why?"
I see my ancestors spend with careless abandon assuming eternal supply
