Modern Kids (feat. Brian Molko) Lyrics

Modern kids future freaks
Following media beats
Everything is on the screen
Can't find a space
The computer erased your heart

We are modern kids
Living through a screen

No need to scour the streets
Your father is out drinking while
Your mother is home reading the bible
And you
are on your own

Go ahead let your sun shine
You've got to do it your own way
Run away don't hesitate
Run away, go run away, go run away

Tenement kids flying on E
Pretending they don't give a sh*t
Dancing for something to be
So out of place
The computer erased their hearts

We are modern kids
Living through a screen

Grabbing today because tomorrow
Is too far away
and you are alone

Go ahead let your sun shine
[They're gonna get you]
You've got to do it your own way
[Not gonna let you go]
Run away don't hesitate
[They're gonna mess you up]
Run away go run away, go run away
[Not gonna let you be yourself]

Run away, run away

run awaaaaay
[They're gonna tell you]
Run away
[Try to persuade you]
[They're always fucking with your head]

Go ahead let your sun shine
You've got to do it your own way
Run away don't hesitate
Run away go run away

Run away
Grabbing today because tomorrow is too far away
