lyrics

Modern Blues
By: John Torres and Tim Kobza

V1
Sweet baby come and take my modern blues
I got two thousand channels not a single one I'd choose

I've had enough of my muddling, babbling, twittering
Shortsighted futuristic selfish considerings

Sweet baby come and take my modern blues

Ch
Could we be slaves to the future that we choose
Am I too late? Is there nothing left to lose?

V1
Sweet darling come and take my modern blues.
They've got 10,000 stories not a single piece of news

You're either right or you're liberal. Animal, mineral.
Mind blocking brokers keeps your brain soft like cereal

Sweet baby come and take my modern blues

Ch
We may be ruled by the future that we choose
But we are not the only ones who share this view


V2
Sweet angel come and take my modern blues.
I got 40,000 minutes, not a single one to lose

Cause every moment is precious I'm sure that I said this
We miss every moment just to add a couple seconds
Sweet Angel come and take my modern

ch
Could we be slaves to the future that we choose
Am I too late? Is there nothing left to lose?

Bri
Give me back the simple life.
An honest wage and a happy wife
Don't need your toys, you're fancy cars.
Don't make no difference if you're ashamed of who you are.


We may be ruled by the future that we choose
But we are not the only ones who share this view
