Modern World
(Appears on Live at the Longbranch and More, Home of the Hits and The Modern Lovers)
[E] Well there's sex in the sunny day
That shines down on Boylston street
And I love the U.S.A.
So share the modern world with me
[A] 'Cause I'm in love with the [B] usa now
[A] I'm in love with the [B] modern world now
[A] Put down your cigar[G#m]ette
And drop out of B.U.
Alright
That's right
[E] Well out in the afternoon
Out in the arid plane
We'll share a modern love
Under suburban rain
[A] And me in love with the [B] usa now
[A] And me in love with the [B] modern world now
[A] Put down the cigar[G#m]ette
And act like a true girl, oh.
[E] Well out on route 9
It's bleak and nearly dying
Stop all this Greek(weak) stuff
And drop out of B.U.!
[A] With me in love with the [B] usa now
[A] And me in love with the [B] modern world now
[A] Put down the cigar[G#m]ette
And drop out of high school, oh
Oh that's right.
[A]Well I'm in love with the [B] usa now
[A] I'm in love with the [B] modern world now
[A] Put down the cigar[G#m]ette
And act like a true girl.
Well listen
[E] Well the modern world is not so bad
Not like the students say
In fact I'd be in heaven
If you'd share the modern world with me
[A] With me in love with the [B] usa now
[A] With me in love with the [B] modern world now
[A] Put down the cigar[G#m]ette
And share the modern world with me.
