The Modern World Lyrics - Ben Harper

(The Jam Cover) 

This is the modern world 

This is the modern world 

What kind of fool do you think I am? 

To think I know nothing of this modern world 

All my life it's been the same 

I've learnt to live by hate and pain 

It's my inspiration drive 

I've learnt more than you'll ever know 

Even at school I felt quite sure 

That one day I would be on top 

Another dot upon the map 

The teachers who said I be nothing! 

This is the modern world that I've learnt about 

This is the modern world we don't need no-one 

To tell us whats right or wrong 

Say what you like 'cause I don't care 

I know where I am and going to 

It's somewhere I won't preview 

To have to explain myself to you 

I don't give a damn about you if you
