Skyhooks – Life In The Modern World lyrics
Where the sky meets the earth, that's the skyline
Where the hair meets the head that's the hairline
Where the needle meets the skin that's the mainline
And where today meets tomorrow that's the deadline

You gotta use what you're given to keep on livin'
Life in the modern world
Don't wreck the sunshine just walk the fine line
Life in the modern world

Where the shore meets the sea that's the shoreline
Where the left meets the right that's the party line
Where the print meets the page that's the headline
And where the poor meet the street that's the breadline

You gotta use what you're given to keep on livin'
Life in the modern world
Keep your finger off the button
Or there won't be nothin'
Left of this modern world

We got pocket calculators we got cybernetic refrigerators
We got men on the moon we got your padded room
We got tax exiles we got sea to air missiles
We got nuclear power we got the Catholic hour
We got life we got death we got life and death
