Arcade Fire — Modern Man

[Verse 1] So I wait my turn, I'm a modern man And the people behind me, they can't understand Makes me feel like Makes me feel like So I wait in line, I'm a modern man And the people behind me, they can't understand Makes me feel like Something don't feel right [Verse 2] Like a record that's skipping, I'm a modern man And the clock keeps ticking, I'm a modern man Makes me feel like Makes me feel like [Chorus] In my dream, I was almost there Then they pulled me aside and said, "You're going nowhere" They say we are the chosen few, but we waste it And that's why we're still waiting [Verse 3] On a number from the modern man Maybe when you're older you will understand Why you don't feel right Why you can't sleep at night now [Bridge] In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man [Verse 3] Oh, I had a dream I was dreaming And I feel I'm losing the feeling Makes me feel like Like something don't feel right I erase the number of the modern man Wanna break the mirror of the modern man Makes me feel like Makes me feel like [Chorus] In my dream, I was almost there Then they pulled me aside and said, "You're going nowhere" I know we are the chosen few, but we waste it And that's why we're still waiting [Bridge] In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man If it's alright Then how come you can't sleep at night? In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man [Outro] I'm the modern man I'm the modern man I'm the modern man I'm a modern man
