Modern Girl
Once a beautiful miss america
Married mr. right
Had a little baby girl,
Born on a stormy night
But that was once upon a time,
Now it's a brand new world
Gimme the future, gimme the future,
Gimme the future with a modern girl
Gimme the future, gimme the future,
Gimme the future with a modern girl
Somewhere just between the past and somethin' dawnin' new
There's a break in the chain,
There's a skip in the clock
Girl that's where i'm gonna find you
Between the boy i was before and what i'm gonna be
There's a clash on the border,
A flame in the sky
Girl that's where you're gonna find me
Can't you hear the planet groanin' like a broken down machine
Rusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens
But you and i stand innocent,
Baby it's a brand new world
Gimme the future, gimme the future,
Gimme the future with a modern girl
Gimme the future, gimme the future,
Gimme the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future,
Gimme the future with a modern girl)
[bridge]
We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Laughin' while the road maps blow away
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
We're the son and the daughter and we ain't afraid
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Won't be makin' the mistakes our fathers made
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Oh, Gimme the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Oh, Gimme the future with a modern girl
Once a beautiful miss america married mr. right
Had a little baby boy,
Born on a stormy night
But that was once upon a time,
Now it's a brand new world
Gimme the future, gimme the future -
Gimme the future with a modern girl...
