Words Hurt - Modern Man (Ft. Rast RFC) lyrics

[Verse 1: Alaska] His flow is like nature A gush of wind or a babbling brook The stoic type sacred Somewhat chagrined he's a cavalier crook At least That's how he fancies himself Sid and nancy or John I'm only dancin(Dancin dancin dancin) An odd relation with the music Whoopee Goldberg and Ted danson He has an occupation but it holds his soul for ransom A weird plot homes now he's in Stockholm A punch the clock drone or at home with his scotch stoned He's comfortably numb he has the comfortable life Once he was undone now he comes home to his wife -It's not that he misses it. He was a miscreant -He must admit that at first three were some misgivings -He loves Christmas with his kid and all the gift giving He also loves to spit it on a beat something blistering But That's his to reconcile -- It was a test of his guile at least I reckon for a while Two sides of a person with some version of a middle ground A ven diagram if a man that's how the riddle sound It's not that profound or that big of a deal It's not like he went and reinvented the wheel He just found a way to make time for all that he loves When he defines himself Now he checks all of the above Hook Let's celebrate the modern man The man in love Let's celebrate the modern man The man unplugged Let's celebrate the modern man I need my space Let's celebrate the modern man Let's plead the case Let's celebrate the modern man The man in touch Let's celebrate the modern man Let's give it up Let's celebrate the modern man The modern man Let's celebrate the modern man The modern man [Verse 2: Alaska] I sit here blank faced staring at a blank screen Blank slate pregnant pauses shoreline of the mainstream Trendsetter born from apocalypse a Ledbetter You can keep the jimmy hats I'ma take the French letter --I think It cla**es up the joint a bit Its masterpiece theater with a mirror for the voyeurism Actually its joy division all bravado gone Mixed with my serato now there's potholes in my lawn Apostrophe for ownership - a pot to pee And possible im free put a stop to all that loner sh** The onanist the swollen dick from mental masturbation The exasperated masochist who lacks imagination But Frankie says relax--- And me myself I like to max Instead of spiraling down the drain of rather fly away to Spain My wounds were always self inflicted Was addicted to the pain 12 steps to recover 8 steps to perfection Memory sort of muddy been bloodied by introspection -The cuts and bruises are useless if you don't use them I reckon there's some truth in extending your reckless youth --this recluse is sort of the living proof You can salvage all the wreckage on a record and a loop And leave it in the past keep your pa**ion in the present Thank you for your time I've been Alaska it's a blessing Hook Let's celebrate the modern man The man in love Let's celebrate the modern man The man unplugged Let's celebrate the modern man I need my space Let's celebrate the modern man Let's plead the case Let's celebrate the modern man The man in touch Let's celebrate the modern man Let's give it up Let's celebrate the modern man The modern man Let's celebrate the modern man The modern man [Verse 3: Rast RFC] He never listened to his mom Head bobbing to a Slick Rick Song A child's story unfolding in the arms of the law He went and set up the alarm on the car Woke the neighbor up that saw him out the window and gave the sergeant a call So now he sits in jail he's in living hell And he says “I will not live my life in a cell” So he decides to change gets out uses his brain Gets his GED enrolls in college and gets good grades Now he's got a job no longer has to rob and steal A true taste of life's joys Then he gets married to the girl of his dreams And they have a beautiful baby boy He doesn't smoke drink or party goes to bed at 9 o'clock Wakes up and does it all over again I wouldn't have it any other way I guess I'm just an old fashioned modern Man Hook: Let's celebrate the modern man Let's celebrate the modern man Let's celebrate the modern man Let's celebrate the modern man Let's celebrate the modern man Let's celebrate the modern man Let's celebrate the modern man Let's celebrate the modern man
