Modern Man Hurricane Blues Lyrics - Adrian Belew

When I was a boy 

Simple times, simple joy 

And life was not full of hate and chaos 

A modern man 

Lives in some kind of hurricane 

I need your love to keep me calm 

When the world is a storm 

Hell fire man desire 

Downtown scream siren 

Ghetto gun drug lord 

Kill children stillborn 

Asphalt flesh bone 

Trash bag alley bomb 

Hey, hey, it's a sin 

About the shape the world is in 

Hey, hey, it's a shame 

Modern man hurricane 

Earth dump suck soil 

Sewer spit sea oil 

Toxic ocean chemical fish 

Man made death wish 

Hey, hey, it's a shame 

Modern man hurricane 

I need your love to keep me calm 

When the world's a storm
