Modern Boy
You were known as the wise one
Introduced in 1758
You outlived the Erectus
who sadly died and left you to your fate
Pythagoras with the looking glass say
contemporary human shall not stay
you hit rock bottom years ago
technology made you a slave to so and so
Slow destruction. You are the modern boy
so self-indulgent you are your own best toy.
Downward spiral. You are the modern boy
Drowning inwards
one would think you would elevate
but stagnation is a strong and solid state
digital you X3 dig it all through the screen bait
have a nice life evolving into a lump
you'll need no hands to lift, no feet to stump
it's all laid out before you
all soaked with the hippest fashion brew
Slow destruction. You are the modern boy
so self-indulgent you are your own best toy.
Downward spiral. You are the modern boy
Drowning inwards
