Where the sky meets the earth, that's the skyline Where the hair meets the head that's the hairline Where the needle meets the skin that's the mainline And where today meets tomorrow that's the deadline
You gotta use what you're given to keep on livin' Life in the modern world Don't wreck the sunshine just walk the fine line Life in the modern world
Where the shore meets the sea that's the shoreline Where the left meets the right that's the party line Where the print meets the page that's the headline And where the poor meet the street that's the breadline
You gotta use what you're given to keep on livin' Life in the modern world Keep your finger off the button Or there won't be nothin' Left of this modern world
We got pocket calculators we got cybernetic refrigerators We got men on the moon we got your padded room We got tax exiles we got sea to air missiles We got nuclear power we got the Catholic hour We got life we got death we got life and death
