Modern Times Lyrics

when I was a young boy I drove my mother crazy 

when I was a young man I drove my teachers wild 

oh whoa oh whoa nobody to con-trol me 

oh whoa modern lover I need you near me 

CHORUS 

never want to leave ya 

never want to leave ya 

never want to leave ya 

no no no no no 

reality anonymous is comin' after me 

they want me shakin' they want me screamin' 

outside 12 year olds are carryin' machine guns 

they give the orders I must be dreamin' 

everywhere I go 'n' everything I see 

it's all startin' to look like 

some strange mythology 

where is the spirit where is the fire 

REPEAT CHORUS 

and then I broke in two 

ya don't really think everything is really 

the way you thought you thought it was did you 

I broke in two but now I think it's time to move 

move 

move 

move 

move me 

watch out 

machine gun machine gun 

oh whoa oh whoa nobody to control me 

oh whoa oh whoa nobody to convince me 

that everything is just gonna be o-k 

never gonna leave ya 

never gonna leave ya 

never gonna leave ya 

no no no no no 

no no no no no 

no no nobody to control me
