The Modern World

The Modern World - The Jam

This is a modern world

This is the modern world

What kind of a fool do you think I am

You think I know nothing of the modern world

All my life has been the same

I've learned to live by hate and pain

It's my inspiration drive -

I've learned more than you'll ever know

Even at school I felt quite sure

That one day I would be on top

And I'd look down upon the map

The teachers said I'd be nothing

This is the modern world that I've learnt about

This is the modern world we don't need no one

To tell us what's right or wrong -

Say what you like 'cause I don't care

I know where I am and going to

It's somewhere I won't preview

Don't have to explain myself to you

I don't give two f**ks about your view

This is the modern world that I've learnt about

This is the modern world we don't need no one

To tell us what's right or wrong -

We don't need no one

To tell us what's right or wrong

This is the modern world

This is the modern world
