I feel uptight when I walk in the city
I feel so cold when I´m at home
Feels like everything´s starting to hit me
I lost my bearings ten minutes ago

Modern guilt, I´m stranded with nothing
Modern guilt, I´m under lock and key
Misapprehension
Is turning into convention
Don´t know what I´ve done but I feel ashamed

Standing outside the glass on the sidewalk
These people talk about impossible things
And I´m falling out of the conversation
And I´m a pawn piece in a human shield

Modern guilt is all in our hands
Modern guilt won´t get me to bed
Say what you will
Smoke your last cigarette
Don´t know what I´ve done but I feel afraid
