I stand up for my pride
I don´t wanna be just like anyone
In this world I cannot hide
I must finish what I have begun

That´s the way I play
In the modern day
´Cause I wanna stay
In the modern day

Got a picture in my mind
Of the way that I wanna be
So I search until I find
The power inside of me

It´s another phase
Of the modern day

Gotta face up to this life
Can´t let it get the best of me
So I make a sacrifice
If that´s the way it has to be

I´m doin´ what I feel is right
I´m ready if I need to fight

In the modern way
In the modern day

Gotta face up to this life
Can´t let it get the best of me
If I make a sacrifice
That´s the way it has to be

Like a motor in overdrive
I feel good and I feel alive
I got no need to beg or borrow
Got a shortcut to tomorrow

And I´m on my way
To the modern day
Got a lot to say
In the modern day

´Cause I need to stay
In the modern day

In the modern day
