Lead Vocals by Mick Jones
I stand up, for my pride
I don't wanna be, just like anyone
'Cause in this world, I cannot hide
I must finish, what I have begun
That's the way I play
In the modern day
'Cause I wanna stay
In the modern day
Got a picture, in my mind
Of the way, that I wanna be
So I search, until I find
The power, inside of me
It's another phase
Of the modern day
Gotta face up to this life
Can't let it get the best of me
So I make a sacrifice
If that's the way it has to be
I'm doin' what I feel is right
I'm ready if I need to fight
In the modern way
In the modern day
I gotta face up to this life
Can't let it get the best of me
'N' if I make a sacrifice
That's the way it has to be
Like a motor, in overdrive
I feel good, and I feel alive
I got no need, to beg or borrow
Got a shortcut, to tomorrow
'N' I'm on my way
To the modern day
Got a lot to say
In the modern day
'Cause I need to stay
In the modern day
In the modern day
