Modern Man

In the end, I feel for you
But I’m not sure I need what you do
I’m a modern man
I’m a modern man
Adam said he liked my story
About that street of blood-stained glory
I am a modern man
I’m a modern man
I take my seat upon the feathers
I fall asleep, sick boys need their bed rest
I’m a modern man
I’m a modern man
A city rife with easy living
Queens and uppers keep things simple
I’m a modern man
I’m a modern man
He made his ornaments from orange pill bottles and he
Hung them on the office Christmas tree
Let’s all work to find clarity
Walk to let the bad things simmer
Found some cheap beer by the river
I’m a modern man
I’m a modern man
I’ll paint my nails when it suits me
Breathtaking, isn’t it? Masculinity
I’m a modern man
Baby did good, got my schooling
But I’m drowning, sweetheart, and I’m losing
I’m a modern man
I’m a modern man
Sing the good songs
Do the good drugs
Turn the news off
And love, love, love
I’m a modern man
He made his ornaments from orange pill bottles and he
Hung them on the office Christmas tree

In his hand, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof
OUTRO
The boys and girls look the same
There are pills to make it look this way
I heard there is a protest today
But the Gaslight is already closed
Yeah, the Gaslight is already closed
So let’s keep it numb
Let’s keep it reckless
Cuz the Gaslight is already closed
That modern man hit hard when they took his name
They took his fortune and identity
The blinding light and and false camaraderie
This leather chair will take more lives today
These boys and girls they all look the same
But the Gaslight is already closed
Yes, the Gaslight is already closed
The Gaslight is already closed
