השיר הזה נכתב בהשראת השיר
i hear america sing
של וולט ויטמן הדגול. כותרת השיר לקוחה מתוך שיר שלו, אבל השיר
עצמו שונה לגמרי.



The modern man builds a house.
The modern man destroys it.
The modern man declares his love,
The modern man forgets it.
The modern man believes in peace,
As long as there's some war.
The modern man will settle for little,
But always wants more.

We modern people love to watch
Nature,
But as we burn it,
We'll settle for a picture.

The modern man believes,
But not in God, In power.
Yet when a love is close to death,
Or when the man's in need,
Though he dare not say,
He too,
           Will pray.
