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

In the modern way

Like a motor in overdrive
