Modern Man Hurricane Blues — Adrian Belew

When I was a boy

Simple times, simple joy

And life was not full of hate and chaos

A modern man

Lives in some kind of hurricane

I need your love to keep me calm

When the world is a storm

Hell fire man desire

Downtown scream siren

Ghetto gun drug lord

Kill children stillborn

Asphalt flesh bone

Trash bag alley bomb

Hey, hey, its a sin

About the shape the world is in

Hey, hey, its a shame

Modern man hurricane

Earth dump suck soil

Sewer spit sea oil

Toxic ocean chemical fish

Man made death wish

Hey, hey, its a shame

Modern man hurricane

I need your love to keep me calm

When the worlds a storm
