Hey modern days
here we come!
but our feet are swollen
and we got no place to stay
But we hope
it would still be OK
`cause we brought champagne
and we thought that
there must be sleeping bags
(In this very modern day)

But we´re all very proud
to be here today
the first of a thousand
million modern days

`Cause it´s a scam
It´s a royal kind of wham-bam figure
It´s abrieved in the sense
of being up-john and senseless
It´s a see-saw sickness
It´s a snake-bite, low-chant jive
on the centurys´ crime

Hey modern days
We are taken a-back
we´re a flame and a-gog
aloof and inhaled
with a don-don briefcase
- Wait for our call
And I therefore shall declare
that the stores shall be locked no more

Why shall men suffer?
Why shall there be freaks?
Why am I still rehearsing a song
when I ought to sleep?

`Cause it´s a scam
It´s a royal kind of wham-bam figure
It´s abrieved in the sense
of being up-john and senseless
It´s a see-saw sickness
It´s a snake-bite, low-chant jive
on the centurys´ crime

Oh, chin-batty dour face!
Why did you go there?
Sitting on a cold stone
waiting for the train home
hoping it would carry me home
hoping it would carry me home!

Well it´s a scam...
