"Modern Man" lyrics - ARCADE FIRE
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
[Chorus:]
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
[Bridge:]
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
[Chorus:]
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
[Bridge:]
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
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
[Outro:]
I'm the modern man
I'm the modern man
I'm the modern man
I'm a modern man
