Modern Times - The Black Keys

Gonna get to it tomorrow, but they don’t care at call

They’re gonna ease your pain and sorrow, but we heard the same before

All my loving friends taking nothin home

And I can’t be the one to let trouble come

All their homes are broken, and what are they gonna do

There’s no magic potion, their lieing days are through

Love and lust go hand in hand

Everything turned to dust in our promised land

Take away the chain, and watch your past go by

While your lies are red, leave me alone to cry

In these modern times

Gonna scream it on a mountain to every valley wide

It’s all your money they’re counting, and to your face they lie

Put on your work boots Momma in your morning gown

Tell me day-to-day, they’re already in the ground

See the way they explain, watch your past go by

Would you die for it, leave me alone to cry

In these modern times, in these modern times, in these modern times
