Story of a Modern Child

Be who you want to be

Are you a machine to the order, a product of industry?

It would be so easy to live so ordinary

You're living under the thumb, the feelings are numb,

can you not see?

Looking around I see how everything's changed

I've tried to get away, tried to keep a straight face

I'm calling out for something that is real

Fake plastic smiles and ready made styles they're I'm

such a waste

The story of a modern child

To dream as though it's all worth while

Take it back, take it back

Is there anything you believe in

Take it back, take it back

Yeah you take it or you leave it

Take it back, take it back

Is there anything you believe in

Take it back, take it back

Yeah you take it or you leave it

Be who you want to be

Yeah we should be who we want to be

Something doesn't feel right

I'm shaking hands with the devil tonight

I'm walking on the dark side

Just to feel what it's really like

Looking around I see how everything's changed

I've tried to get away, tried to keep a straight face

Fake plastic smiles and ready made styles

The story of a modern child

To dream as though it's all worth while

Take it back, take it back

Is there anything you believe in

Take it back, take it back

Yeah you take it or you leave it

Take it back, take it back

Is there anything you believe in

Take it back, take it back

Yeah you take it or you leave it

Be who you want to be

Yeah we should be who we want to be

Be who you want to be

Yeah we should be who we want to be

I said be who you want to be

Yeah we should be who we want to be

Be who you want to be

Are you a machine to the order, a product of industry?
