lyrics

Modern Men:
Hear the short man talking about how he can’t touch the sky
Hear the lonely kid saying his heart beats too loud at night
Hear the old man saying he did more wrong than right
Well, if you always thought you’d lose, why’d you even bother to fight?

As the rain came down on the west side of town
We retreated like an army defeated
Just a huddled mass, that could not see past
The only convenience we’ve known
And you can’t see the sky if you’re always looking down at the road
You can spend you’re whole life looking for a direction home

Hear the preacher praying for the souls of modern men
Hear the widower just wishing God would come take him
Hear the new born child crying in his second hand crib
Well, if you never had to crawl how would you know how much you can stand?

As the sun came up and swelled over the dock
We were just patterns in the sand
And we scattered like leaves in the wind
Because once that breeze is at your back
And you abandon those thoughts that made you act like a fool
Well, this time you’ll get it right for sure

As the sun laid down in the west side of time
We lent our shadows to the east
Just laying low with no where to go
And maybe this time could’ve been better spent
But I don’t know how and I sure ain’t thinking about
No, a roll of the dice always seemed adequate
