Yes, that's right. There are people dying around the world, and all you Americans can complain about is the cost of filling up your huge SUVs with gas? And that you can't get a loan anymore to buy that $50,000 Mercedes? Ohhh... poor babies. You've got it so tough.

I was 2 when this song came out. In those days, I wasn't spoiled like all the toddler brats are today, who get driven around in their luxury SUVs and DVD screens to keep them entertained. My parents only had a modest green 1983 Mazda 626 hatch, with a crummy 3 speed auto, no fuel injection, no power windows... my mother hated it. Back in 1983, FM radio had only been around for 3 years in Australia, and so few people had one. At least that's one thing our Mazda did have-a decent radio/cassette.

Lyrics:
I know when to go out
I know when to stay in
Get things done

I catch the paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But I never wave bye bye
But I try, I try

There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lyin' in the rain
But I never wave bye bye
But I try, I try

Never gonna fall for
Modern love, walks beside me
Modern love, walks on by
Modern love, gets me to
The church on time

Church on time, terrifies me
Church on time, makes me party
Church on time, puts my trust
In God and man

God and man, no confessions
God and man, no religion
God and man, don't believe
In modern love

It's not really work
It's just the power to charm
I'm still standing in the wind
But I never wave bye bye
But I try, I try

Never gonna fall for
Modern love, walks beside me
Modern love, walks on by
Modern love, gets me to
The church on time

Church on time, terrifies me
Church on time, makes me party
Church on time, puts my trust
In God and man

God and man, no confessions
God and man, no religion
God and man, don't believe
In modern love

Modern love, walks beside me
Modern love, walks on by
Modern love, gets me to
The church on time

Church on time, terrifies me
Church on time, makes me party
Church on time, puts my trust
In God and man

God and man, no confessions
God and man, no religion
God and man, I don't believe
In modern love

Modern love, modern love, modern love
Modern love, modern love, modern love
Modern love, modern love, modern love
Modern love, modern love, modern love

Modern love, walks beside me
(Modern love)
Modern love, walks on by
(Modern love)
Modern love, walks beside me
(Modern love)

Modern love, walks on by
(Modern love)
Never gonna fall for modern love
(Modern love)
