You don't know it
'cause you've never been told
But they shaped your life
before you were two years old

You don't care
'cause you don't know about the rest
As far as you're concerned
maybe this is for the best

It's you that create the world we live in
You close your eyes for as long as you can
It's you that control it all
You truly are the modern man

Are you happy now
That we're lost in this maze?
Are you satisfied now
With that look on your face?

I'll be free as if my chains have never been
Now that I'm outside I wonder
Why was I ever within?

You are narrow
but you missed the mark
You trust in God
but you're afraid of the dark

You breathe pollution
and you live in a machine
But you don't care
'cause it's all you've ever seen

It's you that limit your senses
You close your ears for as long as you can
It's you that choose to live with your restraints
You truly are the modern man

Are you happy now
That we're lost in this maze?
Are you satisfied now
With that look on your face?
How long can you keep denying the obvious?
How long can you keep throwing lies at us?
How long will you wait?
Will you realise before it's too late?

You close your eyes for as long as you can
You truly are the modern man

Are you happy now
That we're lost in this maze?
Are you satisfied now
With that look on your face?

I'll be free as if my chains have never been
Now that I'm outside I wonder
Why was I ever within?
