The Malcontent (The Modern World) Lyrics
I hear the ringing of the telephone
No one's home, none of you can reach me
I'm alone and I feel fine
There's nothing anyone can sell to me
Nothing new, none of you can teach me
But I'm sure that you will try
I'm tired of living in the modern world
With pretty boys and plastic girls
Broken hearts and vanity's the disease
I hear my music on the radio
What's that song, from long ago they're still playing
Is it saying anything to you
Pretty people in the magazines
Play the part of kings and queens
Hair and makeup can cover up the ugly truth
I'm tired of living in the modern world
With pretty boys and plastic girls
Broken hearts, vanity's the disease
It really doesn't mean a thing to me
It really doesn't mean a thing to me
I hear the ringing of the telephone
No one's home and none of you can reach me
I'm alone and I feel fine
I'm tired of living in the modern world
With pretty boys and plastic girls
Broken hearts, vanity's the disease
It really doesn't mean a thing to me
It really doesn't mean a thing to me
It really doesn't mean a thing to me
No one's home, none of you can reach me
I'm alone and I feel fine
Nothing new, none of you can teach me
But I'm sure that you will try
With pretty boys and plastic girls
Broken hearts and vanity's the disease
What's that song, from long ago they're still playing
Is it saying anything to you
Play the part of kings and queens
Hair and makeup can cover up the ugly truth
With pretty boys and plastic girls
Broken hearts, vanity's the disease
It really doesn't mean a thing to me
It really doesn't mean a thing to me
No one's home and none of you can reach me
I'm alone and I feel fine
With pretty boys and plastic girls
Broken hearts, vanity's the disease
It really doesn't mean a thing to me
It really doesn't mean a thing to me
It really doesn't mean a thing to me

Wonderful commentary on the shallowness and deceitfulness of the world we live in. He sees behind the veil of untruth and is able to reject what MTV and the rest of the world is trying to sell. If only everyone could be this truthful...
