Jefferson Starship - Modern Times lyrics

When I was a young boy I drove my mother crazy

When I was a young man I drove my teachers wild

Oh whoa oh whoa nobody to con-trol me

Oh whoa modern lover I need you near me

Chorus

Never want to leave ya

Never want to leave ya

Never want to leave ya

No no no no no

Reality anonymous is comin' after me

They want me shakin' they want me screamin'

Outside 12 year olds are carryin' machine guns

They give the orders I must be dreamin'

Everywhere I go 'n' everything I see

It's all startin' to look like

Some strange mythology

Where is the spirit where is the fire

Repeat chorus

And then I broke in two

Ya don't really think everything is really

The way you thought you thought it was did you

I broke in two but now I think it's time to move

Move

Move

Move

Move me

Watch out

Machine gun machine gun

Oh whoa oh whoa nobody to control me

Oh whoa oh whoa nobody to convince me

That everything is just gonna be o-k

Never gonna leave ya

Never gonna leave ya

Never gonna leave ya

No no no no no

No no no no no

No no nobody to control me
