The Malcontent (the Modern World) Lyrics - Little White Lies (dig) - Fastball

I hear the ringing of the telephone 

No one's home and none of you can reach me 

I'm alone and I feel fine 

There's nothing anyone can sell to me 

Nothing new, none of you can teach me 

But I'm sure that you will try 

I'm tired of living in the modern world 

With pretty boys and plastic girls 

Broken hearts, vanities that disease 

I hear my music on the radio 

What's that song from long ago they're still playing 

Is it saying anything to you 

Pretty people in the magazines 

Play the part of kings and queens 

Hair and make-up can cover up the ugly truth. 

I'm tired of living in the modern world 

With pretty boys and plastic girls 

Broken hearts, vanities that disease 

It really doesn't mean a thing to me 

It really doesn't mean a thing to me 

I'm tired of living in the modern world 

With pretty boys and plastic girls 

Broken hearts, vanities that disease 

I hear the ringing of the telephone 

No one's home and none of you can reach me 

I'm alone and I feel fine 

I'm tired of living in the modern world 

With pretty boys and plastic girls 

Broken hearts, vanities that disease 

It really doesn't mean a thing to me 

It really doesn't mean a thing to me 

It really doesn't mean a thing to me
