Modern Man Lyrics

[for reference, it's hard to hear exactly what he's saying, i'm posting guesses in brackets]

While I lie awake
Her dreaming of me
And how much I'll take
Before I'm empty

Think a little do a lot
And take whatever hits the spot
Now whatever free time you got
Now write down everything you bought

"Look here!" they say, "This shit is new,
and our pockets got their eyes on you,
and with everything that you consume,
you can't see we're consuming you"


Put the penny in the pot, now you're fucked your hand is caught

While I lie asleep they are taken from me


Oh modern man what have you done?

Oh modern man what have you become?

Look at the landscape, raspberry skies,
the ivory lake
I hope I never awake

Oh modern man, what have you done?
Oh modern man, what have you become?

Look at the landscape
Raspberry skies
The ivory lake
I hope I never awake

Look at the landscape
Oh modern man!
Raspberry skies
The ivory lake
(What have you done?)
I hope I never awake

I know that I can change it if I try hard enough
'Cause we still believe their pockets always belong to us

Oh modern man
What have you done?
You took my home
And dirtied it up

Oh modern man
What have you done?
You took my home
