Arise and sing the praise of our new gods
This is the age of miracles, the best of times
The future has arrived
This is the kingdom come
A new sensation everyday

I'm a modern man
I need modern things to get me through the day
I need modern things 'cause I've got modern needs

The king is dead, long live the king
Bless me science, 'cause I need to sin
Plastic flowers never die
I love highways at night
A new sensation everyday

I'm a modern man
I need modern things to get me through the day
I need modern things 'cause I've got modern needs
I need modern things that I can understand
I need modern things 'cause I've got modern needs

I turn my head to Houston when I pray
And I'm in love with my TV-set
Electronic toys
Artificial joy
A new sensation everyday

I'm a modern man...
