Modern Man

Modern Man

Bad Religion
(album: Against The Grain)

I´ve got nothing to say,
I´ve got nothing to do,
all of my neurons are
functioning smoothly
yet still I´m a cyborg just like you,
I am one big myoma that thinks,
my planet supports only me,
I´ve got this one big problem: will I live forever?
I´ve got just a short time you see,
modern man, evolutionary betrayer,
modern man, ecosystem destroyer,
modern man, destroy yourself in shame,
modern man, pathetic example of earth´s organic heritage,
when I look back and think,
when I ponder and ask "why?",
I see my ancestors spend with careless abandon,
assuming eternal supply, modern man...,
just a sample of carbon-based wastage,
just a fucking tragic epic of you and I
