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

C#5
I'm doing what I feel is right
C#5
I'm ready if I need to fight
F# D#m G#
In the modern way
C#5
In the modern day

[Verse 2]
C#5
Like a motor in overdrive
C#5
I feel good and I feel alive
C#5
I got no need to beg or borrow
C#5
Got a shortcut to tomorrow
F# D#m G#
And I'm on my way
C#5
To the modern day
F# D#m G#
Got a lot to say
C#5
In the modern day
F# D#m G#
Because I need to stay
C#5
In the modern day
