Intro:
F Dflat Gsharp Eflat F
Dflat Gflat Dflat Eflat f
Verse I:
F Dflat
I've got nothing to say,
I've got nothing to do,
F Gsharp
all of my neurons are functioning smoothly
Dflat Eflat F
yet still I'm a cyborg just like you.
F Dflat
I'm one big myoma that thinks,
my planet supports only me,
F Gsharp
I've got this one big problem will I live forever?
Dflat Eflat f
I've got just a short time to see.
Chorus:
F Gsharp Eflat F-Eflat-F
Modern man - evolutionary betrayer,
modern man - ecosystem destroyer,
Modern man - destroy yourself in shame,
F Gsharp Dflat Eflat
modern man - pathetic example of earth's organic heritage.
verse II(same as above):
When I look back and think, when I ponder and ask "why?"
I see my ancestors spend with careless abandon assuming eternal supply
Solo:
Chorus:
F Gsharp Eflat F-Eflat-F
Modern man - evolutionary betrayer
Modern man - ecosystem destroyer
Modern man - destroy yourself in shame
F Gsharp Dflat Eflat
Modern man - patheric example of earth's organic heritage,
Dflat Eflat
just a sample of carbon-based wastage
Dflat Eflat F
just a fucking tragic epic of you and I . . .
Dflat F Dflat F Gsharp Dflat Eflat F
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (end.)
Chords:
F ---- G --- Gsharp --- Dflat --- Eflat --- F (chorus only) ---
In the solo, (b) = bend.
So there it is. The solos aren't quite right, I don't think, but they
should be pretty close. Enjoy. --Geoff.

ALL CHORDS ARE 5TH'S.
He's too straight and you can wait
Modern man
I've only got time for a few, and not you
Modern man
I'll push you hard, I can't know you
Modern man
'Cause then we'd have to be friends, and that just
won't do
Modern man, Modern man
SSLIN:
Living tommorow is everyones sorry
Modern mans daydreams have turned into nighmears
It's for you that I sing to share what I feel
Modern Man
The things I need in this world
Modern Man
If you don't like it, you can leave me alone
Modern man, Modern man
en I talk to
'Cause whou I want to hang up the phone
Modern man, Modern man
SSLIN:
Living tommorow is everyones sorry
Modern mans daydreams have turned into nighmears
He's too straight and you can wait
Modern man
I've only got time for a few, and not you
Modern man
I'll push you hard, I can't know you
Modern man
'Cause then we'd have to be friends, and that just
won't do
Modern man, Modern man
