Modern Girl Lyrics

Once a beautiful Miss America,

married Mr. Right.

Had a little baby girl,

born on a stormy night.

But that was once upon a time,

now it's a brand new world.

Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,

gimmee the future with a modern girl.

Somewhere just between the past

and somethin' dawnin' new.

There's a break in the chain,

there's a skip in the clock,

girl that's where I'm gonna find you.

Between the boy I was before

and what I'm gonna be.

There's a clash on the border,

a flame in the sky,

girl that's where you gonna find me.

Can't ya hear the planet groanin',

like a broken down machine.

Rusted with the guilty tears

of fallen kings and queens.

But you and I stand innocent,

baby it's a brand new world.

Gimme the future, gimmee the future,

gimmee the future with a modern girl.

We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway,

(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future)

laughin' while the road maps blow away,

(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future)

we're the son and the daughter and we ain't afraid,

(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future)

won't be makin' the mistakes our fathers made.

(Gimmee the future with a modern girl)

Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,

gimmee the future with a modern girl.

Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,

gimmee the future with a modern girl.

Once a beautiful Miss America,

married Mr. Right.

Had a little baby boy,

born on a stormy night.

But that was once upon a time,

now it's a brand new world.

Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,

gimmee the future with a modern girl.
