the modern day

i stand up for my pride

i don't wanna be just like anyone

in this world i cannot hide

i must finish what i have begun

that's the way i play

in the modern day

'cause i wanna stay

in the modern day

got a picture in my mind

of the way that i wanna be

so i search until i find

the power inside of me

it's another phase

of the modern day

gotta face up to this life

can't let it get the best of me

so i make a sacrifice

if that's the way it has to be

i'm doin' what i feel is right

i'm ready if i need to fight

in the modern way

in the modern day

gotta face up to this life

can't let it get the best of me

if i make a sacrifice

that's the way it has to be

like a motor in overdrive

i feel good and i feel alive

i got no need to beg or borrow

got a shortcut to tomorrow

and i'm on my way

to the modern day

got a lot to say

in the modern day

'cause i need to stay

in the modern day

in the modern day
