Lyrics Modern Days - The Kooks

Modern Days

Something’s telling me I got to walk away
From the life I had I shouldn’t hesitate
Walk like an animal into the world of glass
Seems so fragile yeah, nothing was built to last
All the lovers you had
All the lives that you led mean nothing
It’s trickling down
And I can’t hear a sound they make
In the modern days
We live for these modern days
Oh babe we live for these modern days
We live for these modern days
Oh babe we live for these modern days
This is bigger than the fear of atom bombs
The truth is on sale at your local restaurant
The time for selling out has been and gone and died
Music lover in a whirlwind not your time
Afraid of the shadows I send
I know I got to get up to the ceiling again
Put me out of my misery now
I won’t slip away
But I know what I want you to say
And the atoms in my heart all pray together
I’ll hold you forever
In the modern days
We live for these modern days
Oh babe we live for these modern days
We live for these modern days
Oh babe we live for these modern days
We live for these modern days
Oh babe we live for these modern days
We live for these modern days
Oh babe we live for these modern days
Way up in my room
Telling all my secrets
In the modern days
In the modern days
Oh babe we live for these modern days
In the modern days
We live for these modern days
Oh babe we live for these modern days
