Modern Guilt

I feel uptight

When I walk in the city

I feel so cold

When I'm at homeFeels like every thing's

Starting to hit me

I lost my bed

Ten minutes agoModern guilt

I'm staring at nothing

Modern guilt

I'm under lock and keyMisapprehension

Turning into convention

Don't know what I've done

But I feel ashamedStanding outside

The glass on the sidewalk

These people talk about

Impossible thingsAnd I'm falling out of the conversation

And I'm a pawn piece in a human shieldModern guilt

Is all in our hands

Modern guilt

Won't get me to bedSay what you will

Smoking my cigarette

Don't know what I've done

But I feel afraid
