	Story Behind the Song Response to the events of recent and not so recent days. Lyrics We tripped through the Age of Aquarius We said subsequently "They're daring us!" We suffered through time most nefarious (Ron who?) Only to find now that them is us. The modern world, the modern world Let's keep it simple Stupid for all the boys and girls I stumbled upon the answer many years ago When I figure out the question you'll be the first to know. Another's peccadilloes don't thrill me in the least It takes more than titillation to satisfy the beast. So do who strikes your fancy to me it's apropos As long as you don'f flaunt it on the Jerry Springer Show. The Modern World, the Modern World Let's sing it loud and sing it proud and let our flags unfurl We're all perched together up in this family tree Until someone chops the sucker down and brings us to our knees. I exposed my inner child for spiritual enhancement and then the little bastard cried "emotional harassment!" I guess I should be grateful and humble in defeat 'cause I finally met a kid today who wasn't packing heat. The modern world, the modern world grown ups treating grown ups like little boys and girls I stumbled upon the answer many years ago When I figure out the question you'll be the first to know. When envy turns to evil and squats in our back yard and freedoms turn to dust and blow away we fill the seats of power with old and angry men who promise that "by god there's hell to pay!" When one enemy eludes them another's sighted in and patriotic fervor spans the sea So high on mass distraction we march to Satan's door Singing Nearer My God to Thee The Modern World, the Modern World Let's sing it loud and sing it proud and let our flags unfurl We're all perched together up in this family tree Until someone chops the sucker down and brings us to our knees.
