Modern Guilt

I feel uptight when I walk in the city I feel so cold when I'm at home Feels like everything's starting to hit me I lost my bearings ten minutes ago Modern guilt - I'm stranded with nothing Modern guilt - I'm under lock-and-key Misapprehension is turning into convention Don't know what I've done but I feel ashamed Standing outside the glass on the sidewalk These people talk about impossible things And I'm falling out of the conversation Like a pawn piece in a human shield Modern guilt is all in our hands Modern guilt won't get me to bed Say what you will - smoke your last cigarette Don't know what I've done but I feel afraid
