Story Behind the Song
The twentieth century and beyond is the story behind this song. It's a song about the condition of our world.
Lyrics
In Your Modern World
In your modern world,
The skyscrapers scraping the sky;
Eyes full of weariness stare,
Wondering if they should cry.
For the world,
The modern world,
For the world,
The modern world.
War, sex, children and crime:
Can you tell me what doesn't belong?
If we play it as an innocent game,
Can we have back our innocent song?
Pretend I don't understand,
Your war, your crusade, your jehad
A Cain that is raised in hate,
While destiny roles through the gates,
Of the world,
The modern world,
Of the world,
The modern world.
I think it started a long time ago,
When we gave away the earth's control.
When we decided not to obey,
We imitated Satan and looked away!
(Not the wisest of choices.)
In your modern world,
When skyscrapers fall from the sky,
The madness of man starts to preach,
The evil of man prophesies;
Hear a voice low from the ground - whispering --
"The womb is a terrible place!"
God, we're slaughtering innocents here!
Will you send us your glory and grace?
Save the world,
The modern world,
Come save the world,
Save the modern world.
[Repeat and fade, in best modern tradition.]
