Patty Medina - Modern Day American Girl lyrics

Woke up this morning and I put my feet on the cold floor I fed the cat and washed the dishes from the night before I took the movies back, the ones I tried to watch until dawn But I fell asleep with all my make-up and the house lights on I read the paper and I pour myself a cup of tea I think about the world and I wonder how it pertains to me So many people struggling in between what's right and what's wrong While I fall asleep with all my make-up and the house lights on Another day just come and gone In this world I am a modern day American girl And I don't know if I like it In this world I am a modern day American girl I got one hand in my pocket Can I talk about it? I've got so much information and no experience Everything I want to do has already been done I see my situation and the consequences As I'm laying on the couch with the t.v. on Just feeling comfortably numb (Guitar solo) I need some inspiration and some confidence It's getting hard for me to get turned on I see my situation and the consequences As I'm laying on the couch with the t.v. on Woke up this morning to the sound of someone at my door It was a man and he was asking for my signature He said, "It's for a special cause To save the planet from its fate And all we need are a million signatures Before it gets too late" I said, "I'd like to help, role up my sleeves And join the cause, what do you need?" "All we need is your money and you name on the line Please sign in black, cash will do just fine" I wrote a check, he talked the game He said, "Thanks so much, Ms...what's your name?" He shook my hand and when he was gone I fell back into bed with all my make-up And the house lights on Another day just come and gone In this world I am a modern day American girl And I don't know if I like it In this world I am a modern day American girl I got one hand in my pocket Oh, in this world I am a modern day American girl
