Modern Time Blues

These modern time blues give clues
we're abused,
and used.
We lost our right to choose.
We lost the fight too,
but between me and you
these modern time blues
give hope for something new.
Society has faceless faces
and empty places
we're obsessed with payment,
so we chased it through the ages.
Leave gold in the ground
find gold in the sounds.
Natures drum beat will keep you on your feet,
cherish what good comes around.
Modern time blues.
modern time you,
modern times so broad in the sky.
The rhythm of life beats in tune.
