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
Then they pulled me aside and said, "You’re going nowhere"
They say we are the chosen few, but we waste it
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
Wanna break the mirror of the modern man
Makes me feel like
Makes me feel like

In my dream, I was almost there

Then they pulled me aside and said, "You’re going nowhere"
I know we are the chosen few, but we waste it
And that’s why we’re still waiting

In line for a number but you don’t understand
Like a modern man
In like for a number but you don’t understand
Like a modern man
If it’s alright
Then how come you can’t sleep at night?
In line for a number but you don’t understand
Like a modern man

I’m the modern man
I’m the modern man
I’m the modern man
I’m a modern man
