FASTBALL - The Malcontent (The Modern World) lyrics

rate me

<br>

I hear the ringing of the telephone<br />

No one's home and none of you can reach me<br />

I'm alone and I feel fine<br />

There's nothing anyone can sell to me<br />

Nothing new, none of you can teach me<br />

But I'm sure that you will try<br />

<br />

I'm tired of living in the modern world<br />

With pretty boys and plastic girls<br />

Broken hearts, vanities that disease<br />

<br />

I hear my music on the radio<br />

What's that song from long ago they're still playing<br />

Is it saying anything to you<br />

Pretty people in the magazines<br />

Play the part of kings and queens<br />

Hair and make-up can cover up the ugly truth.<br />

<br />

I'm tired of living in the modern world<br />

With pretty boys and plastic girls<br />

Broken hearts, vanities that disease<br />

It really doesn't mean a thing to me<br />

It really doesn't mean a thing to me<br />

<br />

I'm tired of living in the modern world<br />

With pretty boys and plastic girls<br />

Broken hearts, vanities that disease<br />

<br />

I hear the ringing of the telephone<br />

No one's home and none of you can reach me<br />

I'm alone and I feel fine<br />

<br />

I'm tired of living in the modern world<br />

With pretty boys and plastic girls<br />

Broken hearts, vanities that disease<br />

It really doesn't mean a thing to me<br />

It really doesn't mean a thing to me<br />

It really doesn't mean a thing to me

<br><br><br><br>
