Modern Girl

Once a beautiful Miss America,

married Mr. Right.

Had a little baby girl,

born on a stormy night.



But that was once upon a time,

now it's a brand new world.

Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,

gimmee the future with a modern girl.

Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,

gimmee the future with a modern girl.



Somewhere just between the past

and somethin' dawnin' new.

There's a break in the chain,

a skip in the clock,

girl that's where I'm gonna find you.



Between the boy I was before

and what I'm gonna be.

There's a clash on the border,

a flame in the sky,

girl that's where you gonna find me.



Can't ya hear the planet groanin',

like a broken down machine.

Rusted with the guilty tears

of fallen kings and queens.



But you and I stand innocent,

baby it's a brand new world.

Gimme the future, gimmee the future,

gimmee the future with a modern girl.

Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,

gimmee the future with a modern girl.



(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,

gimmee the future with a modern girl.)



We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway,

(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future)

laughin' while the road maps blow away,

(gimmee the future with a modern girl)

we're the son and the daughter and we ain't afraid,

(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future)

won't be makin' the mistakes our fathers made.

(Gimmee the future with a modern girl)



(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,)

Oh gimmee the future with a modern girl.

(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,)

Oh gimmee the future with a modern girl.
