The modern man lyrics

Artist  : Fretblanket 
Song : The modern man
 
Tell me I'm your everything, all that you could
need,
A saviour and a hero, lie to me at least,
Tell me I need challenges, a life full to the
brim,
And a chorus line of motivators kicking my head
in
I could do with a break, a holiday, a stretch of
yellow sun,
I need to feel the ocean - it keeps me safe from
harm
And I'd love to really feel the earth beneath my
feet,
To feel that I am being swept along with it.
Give me all your troubles, I can take the strain,
I'm another Samson, I can feel no pain,
Watch me from a distance, see me buckle and
break,
Knowing it would happen, knowing your escape
But I'm bang up to date, the modern man, an icon
for my times,
I've nothing to declare except this fallacy of
mine
And it may be too late to save myself, to stop
the awful rot,
To kill the killer instinct, and suffocate the
lot
Give me everything, give me everything you've
got...
Can't get through, mouth open and mind closed

I still have tomorrow, I can wait that long,
I don't have to say another word,
I'll run out of breath before long...

I have heard the angels speak, crawling on all
fours,
I don't listen to myself, I can't hear me
anymore,
I have seen the darkened skies crashing to the
floor,
I don't look much to myself, I can't stand it
anymore...
