The Modern World Lyrics

This is a modern world, this is the modern world
What kind of a fool do you think I am?
You think I know nothing of the modern world
All my life has been the same
I've learned to live by hate and pain
It's my inspiration drive

I've learned more than you'll ever know
Even at school I felt quite sure
That one day I would be on top
And I'd look down upon the map
The teachers who said I'd be nothing
This is the modern world that I've learnt about
This is the modern world, we don't need no one
To tell us what's right or wrong

This is the modern world

Say what you like 'cause I don't care
I know where I am, and going too
It's somewhere I won't preview
Don't have to explain myself to you
I don't give two fucks about your review

This is the modern world that I've learnt about
This is the modern world, we don't need no one
To tell us what's right or wrong
The modern world
this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is

Hey, we don't need no one, to tell us what's right or wrong

This is the modern world, this is the modern world

So glad my dad introduced me to this band. I think this is my favorite song by them. As for the meaning, I think SmithersJones87 nailed it.
