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
|
