Trials of a Modern Man Songtext
von Vangoffey

What do you do when it gets too much?
When you′re sinking in bills and your work is drying up
You're working on making a good living at best
But most of it is taken at her majesty′s request

I've got a house and a car
And kids and a wife
But I'm tearing out my hair
Just to keep them in my life

The sense of delusion
Is sending me mad
It′s all in the trials
Of the modern day man

It′s the trials of the modern man
(Yeah, that's what it is)
The trials of the modern man
(Yeah, that′s what it is)


What do you do
When your boy turns white
Doing 80 miles an hour
On the motorway at night

He pukes out the window
But it sprays back inside
It's all over his brother
And it turns into a fight

I′ve got my hands on the wheel
But I can't keep the peace
Because they′re at it in the back
Baring talons and teeth

The sense of destruction
Is sending me mad
It's all in the trials
Of the modern day man

It's the trials of the modern man
(Man, that′s what it is)
The trials of the modern man
(Man)
It′s the trials of the modern man
(That's what it is)
The trials of the modern man


Do you ever get the feeling
That you′re ready to pop
Into a million different pieces
All over the shop

You're trying your best
To keep on top of it all
But you can′t stop staring
Down the rabbit hole

I've got a house and a car
Kids and a wife
But I′m busting out my brains
Just to keep them in my life

Don't drink, don't smoke,
Don′t go mad
It′s all in the trials
Of the modern day man

It's the trials of the modern man
(Man, that′s what it is)
The trials of the modern man
(Man, that's what it is)
It′s the trials of the modern man
It's the trials of the modern man
It′s the trials of the modern man
It's the trials of the modern man
