"Modern Man" lyrics

Yesterday, I
Met the maker
Stay in the lakeside
Near the water
Yesterday, I
Met the maker
In the backroom
Signed the papers for you

This is a modern man
With his modern plans
And a feigned desire, ayy, yeah
To this modern man
With his modern plans
Say hello to desire

Yesterday I couldn't see straight
Foggy nighttime sows the mistrial
Couldn't make it, could've never
Couldn't see it, couldn't claim it
In the background, we're not back here
And I never knew what it means
Just another, just a father
To a mother and a child
Of disaster, just a while

This is a modern man
With his modern plans
Taking his last stand
This, this is where I stand
Just where I thought I'd land, and
This is a modern man taking who I am
With a, with a little sprinkle of desire
That nobody saw coming in fast, uh
This is a modern man
With his modern plans
And he's looking at the back of my head, huh
This is where I'd thought I'd land
I hope you're out there

Gave a smile
That you'd never see
'Cause I
I am the modern man
With his modern plan
And no one can stop me
Come on

This is a modern man
With his modern plans
And a feigned desire, ayy, yeah
To his modern man
To him, coming in fast, huh
This is a modern man
With his modern plans
And he's looking at the back of my head, huh
This is where I'd thought I'd land

I hope you're out there
I hope you're out there
I hope you're out there
I know you're out there
I pray you're out there
