Modern World
Dennis van Aarssen Lyrics

Crazy way to get your kicks
People go to extreme lengths to find entertainment.

They shoot the silicone in your lips
People get cosmetic surgeries to alter their appearance, including injecting silicone into their lips.

If your figure makes you sad
If you're unhappy with your body shape.

They suck the fat right off your back
People undergo liposuction surgery to remove excess fat from their bodies.

Make up your mind about your tits, girls
Women are encouraged to decide whether or not they want to undergo procedures to change the size of their breasts.

They can puff 'em up so no bra will fit, girls
Women can have cosmetic breast augmentation surgery to make their breasts larger than what is natural, so finding a bra that fits can be difficult.

There's only one thing they can't fix
There are some things about us that cannot be changed through artificial means.

And I won't let you be mislead
I refuse to let people be deceived about what can be improved through cosmetic means.

That's the hole in your head
The one thing that cannot be fixed is one's intelligence or lack thereof.

Can't fix that
People cannot change their inherent intellectual abilities.

Hail, hail modern world
A greeting to the modern day society.

Hail to all your boys and girls
Acknowledging all the people in modern society.

And hail, hail the color green
An ode to the color green.

I say hail to what I've seen
Praising the things the singer has witnessed in the modern world.

You tell her that's shes beautiful
Men often tell women that they are beautiful.

And put her on a pedestal
When men put women on a pedestal, they are setting unrealistic expectations.

And you Google triple X
Many people turn to the internet to watch pornography.

Imagination kicks in
People can get lost in their fantasies and sexual desires.

The more you think about sex, boys
Thinking about sex too much can be harmful.

With someone else the better it gets, boys
Many people have a tendency to become more interested in having sex with someone other than their partner.

Do you have a purpose in your life?
Asking people if they have something they are aiming towards in life.

Besides cheating on the wife
Hinting at how men often stray from their partner.

For fuck sake, show some sense
Asking men to use some common sense and not cheat on their partners.

These days adoption is a hot thing
Adopting children has become popular recently.

You can get a child for nearly nothing
Adoption fees are much cheaper than the expenses of raising a biological child.

You take them home to a nanny
Hiring a nanny to take care of your adopted child.

Buy off your guilt with toys and candy
Parents try to assuage their guilt for not having enough time to spend with their child by giving them material things.

But all the money that you work for, girls
The hard-earned money women make by working hard.

You can't compare it to a love, boys
Despite the financial efforts of women, love is much more important to raising children than money is.

Yeah-aah, yeah, yeah
Refrain of the song.

Yeah-eah, yeah, yeah
Refrain of the song.

Yeah-eah, yeah, yeah
Refrain of the song.

Oh-ooh
Refrain of the song.

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Refrain of the song.

I say hail this modern world
Acknowledging the modern world once more.
