Lyrics

Modernization of the Soul


There comes a time in all of our lives
When the question of self seems cluttered with lies
When you look in the mirror you don't like what you see
You can't blame it on them - you can't blame it on me

Take another look at life
Don't you see what's happening to you
All the struggle and the strife
It's the modernization of the soul
It's the modernization of the soul

When you can't find yourself you don't know where you've been
And you stopped asking why you seen what you seen
As the faces go by well they all look the same
And you're working real hard to cope with the pain

Take another look at life
Don't you see what's happening to you
All the struggle and the strife
It's the modernization of the soul
It's the modernization of the soul

Now is the time to step off that track
Take control of your life and never look back
Put your faith in the earth the ancient and wise
In the earth lies the truth - no more lies

Take another look at life
Don't you see what's happening to you
All the struggle and the strife
It's the modernization of the soul
It's the modernization of the soul
