Modern Times

Gonna get to it tomorrow, but they don't care at call They're gonna ease your pain and sorrow But we heard the same before All my loving friends taking nothin' home And I can't be the one to let trouble come All their homes are broken and what are they gonna do There's no magic potion, their lying days are through Love and lust go hand in hand Everything turned to dust in our promised land Take away the chain and watch your past go by While your lies are red, leave me alone to cry In these modern times Gonna scream it on a mountain to every valley wide It's all your money they're counting and to your face they lie Put on your work boots, Momma, in your morning gown Tell me day-to-day, they're already in the ground See the way they explain, watch your past go by Would you die for it, leave me alone to cry In these modern times In these modern times In these modern times
