  • Hey
    Hey
    Da da da da

    I feel uptight when I walk in the city
    I feel so cold when I'm at home
    Feels like everything's starting to hit me
    I lost bed ten minutes ago

    Modern guilt I'm staring at nothing
    Modern guilt I'm under lock and key
    It's not what I have changed,
    Turning into convention

    Don't know what I've done but I feel ashamed
    Standing outside the glass room sidewalk
    These people talk about impossible things
    And I'm falling down the conversations
    Another palm beats into you and Jill

    Modern guilt is all in our hands
    Modern guilt won't get me to bed
    Say what you will
    Smoking my cigarette
    Don't know what I've done but I feel afraid
