He's too straight and you can wait
Modern man
I've only got time for a few, and not you
Modern man
I'll push you hard, I can't know you
Modern man
'cause then we'd have to be friends
And that just won't do
Modern man, modern man

Living tomorrow is everyone's sorrow
Modern man's daydreams
Have turned into nightmares

It's for you that I sing to share what I feel
Modern man
The things I need in this world
Modern man
If you don't like it, you can leave me alone
Modern man, modern man
'cause when I talk to you I want to hang up the phone
Modern man, modern man
