[Verse 1]
D#5
I stand up for my pride
D#5
I don't want to be just like anyone
D#5
In this world I cannot hide
D#5
I must finish what I have begun
G# Fm A#
That's the way I play
D#5
In the modern day
G# Fm A#
Because I want to stay
D#5
In the modern day
D#5
Got a picture in my mind
D#5
Of the way that I wanna be
D#5
So I search until I find
D#5
The power inside of me
G# Fm A#
It's another phase
D#5
Of the modern day
[Chorus]
A# G# D#
Got to face up to this life
A# G# D#
Can't let it get the best of me
A# G# D#
So I make a sacrifice
A# G# D#5
If that's the way it has to be

Like a motor in overdrive
