So I wait my turn, I'm a modern man And the people behind me, they can't understand Makes me feel like Makes me feel like So I wait in line, I'm a modern man And the people behind me, they can't understand Makes me feel like Something don't feel right Like a record that's skipping I'm a modern man And the clock keeps ticking I'm a modern man Makes me feel like Makes me feel like In my dream I was almost there And you pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere They say we are the chosen few But we're wasted And that's why we're still waiting On a number from the modern man Maybe when you're older you will understand Why you don't feel right Why you can't sleep at night now In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man Oh I had a dream I was dreaming And I feel I'm losing the feeling Makes me feel like Like something don't feel right I erase the number of the modern man Want to break the mirror of the modern man Makes me feel like Makes me feel like In my dream I was almost there But you pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere I know we are the chosen few But we're wasted And that's why we're still waiting In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man And you feel so right But how come you can't sleep at night? In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man I'm a modern man I'm a modern man I'm a modern man I'm a modern man
