[Verse 1]
C5
I stand up for my pride
C5
I don't want to be just like anyone
C5
In this world I cannot hide
C5
I must finish what I have begun
F Dm G
That's the way I play
C5
In the modern day
F Dm G
Because I want to stay
C5
In the modern day
C5
Got a picture in my mind
C5
Of the way that I wanna be
C5
So I search until I find
C5
The power inside of me
F Dm G
It's another phase
C5
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 C5
If that's the way it has to be

C5
Like a motor in overdrive
C5
I feel good and I feel alive

I got no need to beg or borrow
C5
Got a shortcut to tomorrow

And I'm on my way

To the modern day

Got a lot to say
