You're looking like a stranger and time is running short
Hiding aces under tables,
Something we've all done before
Stop talking to the network
You're fading as we speak
Losing trace of your face and wondering
Where the words come out of, where they sleep
Modern love empty love it ain't for me
Modern love empty love it ain't for me
Modern love empty love it ain't for me
Modern love empty love it ain't for me
You tricked me into believing
That there's nothing wrong with what we do
But I see sedentary beings
Zombies chained up by the wrongs we do
Well I've seen the world
Galactic, magic places
No teeth to wear a smile
Dry and wrinkled faces
I've been with many girls
But only one has shown me
What I should value closely
Boy she opened my eyes
Modern love empty love it ain't for me
Modern love empty love it ain't for me
Modern love empty love it ain't for me
Modern love empty love it ain't for me
"Baby, I know we've been through tough times
I realized now what we've been doing wrong
We should talk face to face
Fight face to face,
Come back to the real world
Make love like back in the day
Change our ways"
Modern love empty love it ain't for me
Modern love empty love it ain't for me
Modern love empty love it ain't for me
Modern love empty love it ain't for me
Alright now let me hear you boys
Modern love (It ain't for me)
Empty love (It just ain't for me)
Modern love (It just ain't for me)
Empty love (It ain't for me)
I said Crazy love (It just ain't for me)
I said Stupid love (It ain't for me)
Falsely love It ain't for me
Take that phony, well I've seen the world
Take that phony, galactic, magic places
Take that phony, no teeth to share a smile
Take that phony, dry and wrinkled faces
In the midst of a city night, I tried to sing
Why oh why do I have to keep on living like this?
If my mother was a lover, she taught me about life
My father was a hater and he taught me how to fight
Despite all our resources we seem to think
That we don't have what it takes to make an honest living
Modern love empty love it ain't for me
