"Modern Job" lyrics

I wish I was bolder
I wish I was brave
And I wish I didn't count my days
By the things I didn't say
And I wish I had the guts
I wish I had the gall
I wish I had a girl
I wish I had it all
I wish that I was married
I wish that I was rich
I wish I had the life
And I wish that this wasn't it

'Cause I want a modern job
A modern life
With modern money
And a modern wife
The modern window
The modern hall
The modern fiction
And modern foe
I want the modern garden
And modern guile
With the modern jargon
The modern smile
The modern good
The modern bad
But this modern hope
That's all I have

I wish I was bolder
I wish I was brave
And I wish I didn't count my days
By the things I didn't say
And I wish I had the guts
I wish I had the gall
I wish I had a girl
I wish I had it all
I wish that I was married
I wish that I was rich
I wish I had the life
And I wish that this wasn't it

'Cause I want a modern job
A modern life
With modern money
And a modern wife
The modern window
The modern hall
The modern fiction
And modern foe
I want the modern garden
And modern guile
With the modern jargon
The modern smile
The modern good
The modern bad
But this modern hope
That's all I have
I want it all

Oh, I wish I had it all
Oh, I wish I had it all
Oh, I wish I had it
Oh, I wish I had it
Oh, I wish I had it

I wish I was bolder
I wish I was brave
I wish I didn't count my days
By the things I didn't say

And I wish I had
A modern job
A modern life
With modern money
And a modern wife
The modern window
The modern hall
The modern fiction
And a modern foe
I want the modern garden
And modern guile
With a modern jargon
The modern smile
The modern good
The modern bad
But this modern hope
It's all I have
I want it all

Oh, I wish I had it all
Oh, I wish I had it all
Oh, I wish I had it
Oh, I wish I had it
Oh, I wish I had it all
