Modern World

Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young

We live in a modern world

With communication

between boy and girl

Oh Yeah

But under the stars above

We just don't recognise

the power of love is free



We gotta change

We gotta change

We gotta change how we feel

We gotta change

We gotta change



When anger has closed the door

My eyes go blind

and I can see inside

I hurt you and you hurt me

With crimes of love

in the first degree

Oh yeah



We gotta change

We gotta change

We gotta change how we feel

We gotta change

We gotta change



We live in a modern world

With communication

between boy and girl

oh yeah

but when there are clouds above

We just don't recognise

the power of love is free



We gotta change

We gotta change

We gotta change how we feel

We gotta change

We gotta change
