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, it's a sin
  about the shape the world is in
  hey, hey, it's a shame
  modern man hurricane
  
  Earth dump suck soil
  sewer spit sea oil
  toxic ocean chemical fish
  man made death wish
  
  Hey, hey, it's a shame
  modern man hurricane
  
  I need your love to keep me calm
  when the world's a storm
