Modern Myth

Lyrics

I don't know why we treat this life Like a creation of our own design Pretending everything is under control When actually, we're running blind I hear that we're the highest form of life In all the universe, ha, ha! That's pretty easy to say As long as you don't check it out first And it's only a modern myth (Just a modern, modern myth) Yeah, it's nothin' but a pack of lies (Just a modern, modern myth) And we wind up lookin' like a bunch of clowns (Just a modern, modern myth) By thinking that we're wise (Just a modern, just a modern) And there's always gonna be some guy (Just a modern, modern myth) Tryin' to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge (Just a modern, modern myth) Don't be a chump, come on, wake up Remember this: it's just a modern myth I hear that people are basically good And everything will turn out okay I guess that fellas like Adolf Hitler Just must have had a real bad day Now you can choose to disagree But one thing is very clear We'd all be pretty depressed If we got to heaven and it was just like here And it's only a modern myth (Just a modern, modern myth) Whoo-hoo, nothin' but a pack of lies (Just a modern, modern myth) And we wind up lookin' like a bunch of clowns (Just a modern, modern myth) By thinking that we're wise (Just a modern, just a modern) And there's always gonna be some guy (Just a modern, modern myth) Tryin' to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge (Just a modern, modern myth) Don't be a chump, come on, wake up Remember this: it's just a modern myth Ooh, yeah Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa Whoa-whoa-whoa And there's always gonna be some guy (Just a modern, modern myth) Tryin' to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge (Just a modern, modern myth) Don't be a chump, come on, wake up! Remember this, ah... I hear it said that the Lord is dead And faith is only a crutch of the weak That must sound odd to the ears of God Who's given us the tongues to speak Now you can make up fairytales Until your face is blue But that won't alter the simple fact That what is true is true And it's only a modern myth (Just a modern, modern myth) Whoo-hoo, it's nothin' but a pack of lies (Just a modern, modern myth) And we wind up lookin' like a bunch of clowns (Just a modern, modern myth) By thinking that we're wise (Just a modern, just a modern) And there's always gonna be some guy (Just a modern, modern myth) Tryin' to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge (Just a modern, modern myth) Don't be a chump, come on, wake up Remember this, remember this: It's just a modern myth
