Modern Life by Forest Music Productions (From the Musical "Presence" by Mark Walder and George Nash)

About:
Modern Life describes the days of a typical young man working in an office in the city. It’s a life he finds boring and repetitive. The daily commute, the hours staring at a computer screen, the mushy microwave meals and the lack of any meaningful relationships begins to grind him down and leave him feeling depressed. At night he dreams of a completely different life. He sees himself living as a hunter gatherer. But then he wakes up in the morning and finds that he is still trapped in ‘Modern Life’.

Lyrics:

- Instrumental Intro -

Verse 1:
Crisp white shirt and trousers pressed
Knots his tie then he's dressed
Takes the bus and then the train
Everyday is just the same

Checks his email, Facebook too
Tweets on Twitter in the loo
Stares at numbers on the screen
Is he human or machine

Chorus:
This is the Modern Life, Modern Life
Woe woe woe woe Modern Life
This is the Modern Life, Modern Life
Woe woe woe woe Modern Life

Bridge:
But at night he dreams of life as a hunter
Stalking nimbly through the forest bare
Tall lithe muscled and athletic
Bravely facing dangers everywhere

Chorus:
But he’s in Modern Life, Modern Life
It’s not what he wants this Modern Life
Modern Life, Modern Life
Is this what you want this Modern Life

Verse 2:
Drinks his lunch down at the bar
Sees his fate in a jar
Bloated waistline, swollen feet
Eyeing girls he'll never meet

Takes the train home, then the bus
Microwaves some plastic mush
Watches TV, sends some texts
Goes to sleep after porno sex

Chorus:
This is the Modern Life, Modern Life
So far from his dreams this Modern Life
This is the Modern Life, Modern Life
It’s not what he wants this Modern Life

Bridge:
For at night he dreams of life as a hunter
Stalking nimbly through the forest bare
Tall lithe muscled and athletic
Bravely facing dangers everywhere

Chorus;
But he’s in Modern Life/Modern Life
Caught in a trap called Modern Life
Yes he’s in Modern Life/Modern Life
So far from his dream this Modern Life

- Instrumental -

Chorus:
But he’s in Modern Life/Modern Life
Woe woe woe woe Modern Life
Modern Life, Modern Life
Is this what you want this Modern Life

Modern Life/Modern Life
Caught in a trap called Modern Life
Modern Life/Modern Life
Is this what you want this Modern Life
