Devo - Modern Life lyrics

It's a modern life but it's
Not what you're lookin' for
Whoa it's a modern life
It's a modern life but it's not
What it's 'sposed to be
Whoa it's a modern life

The potential was there but it
Got tossed in the can
Too many corkscrews to carry out the plan
You're tryin to make a difference
But you're just another man

It's a modern life but it's
Not what you're looking for
Whoa what you're lookin' for
Whoa time to let it go
It's a modern life but it's not
What it's 'sposed to be
Whoa it's a modern life
It's a modern life but it looks


Like it came from a zoo
Whoa like it came from a zoo

You had a different idea but now
You're just out of luck
You hunt a bargain just to save a buck
Now you're still on the job and
It looks like you're stuck

It's a modern life but it's
Not what you're lookin' for
Whoa it's a modern life
It's a modern life but it reads better on TV
Whoa it's a modern life

Time to pay up, motherfucker

It's a modern life but it's not
What it's 'sposed to be
Whoa it's a modern life
It's a modern life but it looks
Like it came from a zoo
Whoa like it came from a zoo

You had a different idea but now
You're just out of luck
You hunt a bargain just to save a buck
Now you're still on the job and
It looks like you're stuck
It's a modern life but it's
Not what you're lookin' for
Whoa it's a modern life

Time to pay up, motherfucker

It's a modern life but it's not
What it's 'sposed to be
Whoa it's a modern life

Time to pay up, motherfucker

It's a modern life but it's
Not what you're lookin' for
Whoa it's a modern life
It's a modern life but it's
Not what you're lookin' for
Whoa it's a modern life
It's a modern life but it's
Not what you're lookin' for
Whoa it's a modern life
