[Verse 1]
E5
I stand up for my pride
E5
I don't want to be just like anyone
E5
In this world I cannot hide
E5
I must finish what I have begun
A F#m B
That's the way I play
E5
In the modern day
A F#m B
Because I want to stay
E5
In the modern day
E5
Got a picture in my mind
E5
Of the way that I wanna be
E5
So I search until I find
E5
The power inside of me
A F#m B
It's another phase
E5
Of the modern day
[Chorus]
B A E
Got to face up to this life
B A E
Can't let it get the best of me
B A E
So I make a sacrifice
B A E5
If that's the way it has to be

E5
Like a motor in overdrive
E5
I feel good and I feel alive

I got no need to beg or borrow
E5
Got a shortcut to tomorrow

And I'm on my way

To the modern day

In the modern day
