Mick Jones)



I stand up for my pride

I don't wanna be just like anyone

In this world I cannot hide

I must finish what I have begun



That's the way I play

In the modern day

'Cause I wanna saty

IN the modern day



Got a picture in my mind

Of the way that I wanna be

So I search until I find

The power inside of me



It's another phase

Of the modern day



Gotta face up to this life

Can't let it get the best of me

So I make a sacrifice

If that's the way it has to be



I'm doin' what I feel is right

I'm ready if I need to fight



In the modern way

In the modern day



Gotta face up to this life

Can't let it get the best of me

If I make a sacrifice

That's the way it has to be



Like a motor in overdrive

I feel good and I feel alive

I got no need to beg or borrow

Got a shortcut to tomorrow



And I'm on my way

To the modern day

That's the way I play

In the modern day



'Cause I'm hear to stay

In the modern day



In the modern day
