Modern

from Copacetic by Meteor Street

/

lyrics

Well you’re so modern
You can’t help but get the words out of your mouth
You’re just hoping that someone will commend you 
Will depend on you 
The latest fashions
Hold naught but a candle to your great wisdom
Your foresight for the times
Not a good girl anymore
You’ve no concern for social mores
Let them catch their way up to you
If they dare 

Well you’re always game
A word of discomfort’s never passed your lips
You’re along for the ride just like the last time
And the time before
You’ve got opinions to be sure
Keep them to yourself 
And you’ll scuttle along 

Well you’re so dynamic, erratic, and out of your mind
The ecstasy rides up, down, around your spine 
A ripple, you tipple, and what do you find?
A lack of attention, you’re gonna be fine

Too many things you know too little
Too many things you know too well
To all the things you’ll leave behind
Tossed aside for the great here and now
And what is respectable now
Makes you sick and upset in the head 
And isn’t it just delectable how
The myth of tradition is dead?

Well I guess you’ve got it
That indescribable mark that brands you an ineffable starlet
You’re thoroughly streamlined
Got your eye on the target

Starting tomorrow you’re gonna be, you’re gonna be
You’re gonna be unspeakably fatal
Take the truths of which you dream from grave to cradle
Leave us earthly sods in the hands of the willing and able
Scrape the muck from off your feet
A treat for your faithful
You messiah, you angel 

Dynamic, erratic, and out of your mind
You wild, flower child, divine
Alone in the world and alone in your kind
A ripple, you tipple, and what do you find?
A lack of attention, but honey you’re gonna be fine
