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
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
