[Verse 1]
A5 A5 A*
Don't speak of false messiahs
A5 A5 A*
Failure of the modern man
A5 A5 G*
To the center of all life's desires
G5* G5 A*
As a whole not an also ran
[Verse 2]
A5 A5 A*
Love in a hollow field
A5 A5 A*
Break the image of your father's son
A5 A5 G*
Drawn to an inner feel
G5 G5 A*
He was thought of as the only one
[Instrumental]

Now that it's right to decide
A5 A5 A*
In his time he was a total man
A5 A5 G*
Taken from Caesar's side
G5 G5 A*
Kept in silence just to prove who's wrong
[Chorus]
A5 A5 A*
No, no he can’t despise
A5 A5 A*
All the failures of the Modern Man

No, no longer denies

All the failures of the Modern Man

*little note, theres two rhythm guitars dubbed on this recording, so you can
choose to either play those power
chords muted or open, depending on which you like better :3
This is the scale I tend to use for the solos, make sure to bend a lot.

Don't speak of false messiahs
Failure of the modern man
To the center of all life's desires
As a whole not an also ran
Love in a hollow field
Break the image of your father's son
Drawn to an inner feel
He was thought of as the only one
He no longer denies
All the failures of the modern man
He no longer pick sides
Sees the failures of the modern man
Wise words and sympathy
Tell the story of our history
New strength gives a real touch
Sense and reason make it all too much
With a strange fatality
Break the spirits of a lesser man
Some other race can see
In his way, he was the only one
He no longer denies
All the failures of the modern man
No, no, he can't pick sides
Sees the failures of the modern man
Now that it's right to decide
In his time he was a total man
Taken from Caesar's side
Kept in silence just to prove who's wrong
No, no he can't despise
All the failures of the modern man
No, no longer denies
All the failures of the modern man
