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

F Gsharp Dflat Eflat
Modern man – patheric example of earth’s organic heritage,

Dflat Eflat F
just a fucking tragic epic of you and I . . .

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

[BASSLINE:]
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
‘Cause wh[F#en I talk to you I want to hang up the phone
Modern man, Modern man

[BASSLINE:]
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

Modern man
‘Cause then we’d have to be friends, and that just
won’t do
Modern man, Modern man
