Adrian Belew - Modern Man Hurricane Blues

When I was a boy

simple times, simple joy

and life was not full of hate and chaos

a modern man

lives in some kind of hurricane

I need your love to keep me calm

when the world is a storm



Hell fire man desire

downtown scream siren

ghetto gun drug lord

kill children stillborn

asphalt flesh bone

trash bag alley bomb



Hey, hey, it's a sin

about the shape the world is in

hey, hey, it's a shame

modern man hurricane



Earth dump suck soil

sewer spit sea oil

toxic ocean chemical fish

man made death wish



Hey, hey, it's a shame

modern man hurricane



I need your love to keep me calm

when the world's a storm
