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

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

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