The Modern Day

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

And 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
