Am E7 E7 E7
Am E7 Am E
In the future that we used to imagine
E Am F
The one they pictured in those old magazines
F G C
Their tomorrow-land Is so old fashioned
F G
A delusion of the modern dream
Am E7 Am
But they had a skyway to the city towers
E Am C F
And we're still rocking over stones and tar
Fm C
I've been crawling down the freeway for hours
F G
I want my fusion-powered flying car
C Dm G C Dm F
This ain't the modern world that I remember
F G C Dm
The one they promised all us boys and girls
F G C Dm
This ain't the vision that the artist rendered
F G C Dm
What happened to my modern world?
F G C
What happened to my modern world?
Am E7 Am E
They said my leisure time was gonna be bitchin
E Am F
I'd have my holographic TV phone
F G C
And we'd be cooking in our One Button kitchen
F G Am
In our aluminum dymaxion home
Am E7 Am E7
With the enlightened ones leading the nations
E Am C F
Bringing peace around the world at last
Fm C
A utopia of cooperation
F G C
Where injustice is a thing of the past
C Dm G C Dm F
This ain't the modern world that I remember
F G C Dm
The one they promised all us boys and girls
F G C Dm
This ain't the vision that the artist rendered
F G C Dm
What happened to my modern world?
F G C
What happened to my modern world?
Am E7 Am E
It's just a bunch of big baby boomers
E Am E F
Trying to snatch the last cookie and run
F G C
It's such a comfort to the guilty consumer
F G Am
If Armageddon had already begun
Am E7 Am
'Cause if the world's a box of chocolate cherries
E Am C F
Then they can use it up and toss it away
Fm C F
They make it post-apocalyptic and scary
F G C
To even dream about the future today
C Dm G C Dm F
This ain't the modern world that I remember
F G C Dm
The one they promised all us boys and girls
F G C Dm
This ain't the vision that the artist rendered
F G C Dm
What happened to my modern world?
F G C
What happened to my modern world?
F G C Dm
What happened to my modern world?
F G C
What happened to my modern world?
Am E7 Am
