Modern Lives Lyrics - Jackie Greene

All right! 

Well I called up the President 

And asked him where the money went 

He told me that it all got spent 

Long before I ever learned to drive 

How's that kid, you satisfied? 

Oh now do us all a favor and go 

Buzz along your modern life 

Well I turned on the evening news 

Another white man sings the blues 

Telling me I'm gonna lose 

Unless we all wake up and choose a side 

C'mon son, where's your pride? 

Well sir, it's hard to catch my breath 

When I been drowning in my modern life 

Yeah

No you can't fool me 

Your Time Square looks like a graveyard 

I got a billboard for my headstone 

And a car horn for my eulogy 

I don't know but it's been said 

There's bound to be good times ahead 

You might get rich, you might get dead 

Either way, I'm waiting for a sign 

Oh my lord, you know I'm trying 

But it don't feel like easy winning 

When I'm spinning in my modern life 

Yeah 

Well you can't fool me 

Your Time Square looks like a graveyard 

I got a billboard for my headstone 

And a car horn for my eulogy 

Yeah, eulogy

Well I called up the President 

And asked him where the money went 

He told me that it all was spent 

Long before I ever learned to drive 

How's that kid, you satisfied? 

Oh now do us all a favor and go 

Buzz along your modern life 

Won't you do us all a favor 

And go buzz on your modern life 

Oh yeah
