[Verse 1]
A5
I stand up for my pride
A5
I don't want to be just like anyone
A5
In this world I cannot hide
A5
I must finish what I have begun
D Bm E
That's the way I play
A5
In the modern day
D Bm E
Because I want to stay
A5
In the modern day
A5
Got a picture in my mind
A5
Of the way that I wanna be
A5
So I search until I find
A5
The power inside of me
D Bm E
It's another phase
A5
Of the modern day
[Chorus]
E D A
Got to face up to this life
E D A
Can't let it get the best of me
E D A
So I make a sacrifice
E D A5
If that's the way it has to be

Like a motor in overdrive

Got a shortcut to tomorrow

To the modern day
