Modern Girl

Once a beautiful Miss America
Married Mr. Right
Had a little baby girl
Born on a stormy night
But that was once upon a time
Now it's a brand new world

Gimme the future
Gimme the future
Gimme the future with a modern girl
Gimme the future
Gimme the future
Gimme the future with a modern girl

Somewhere just between the past 
And somethin' dawnin' new
There's a break in the chain
There's a skip in the clock
Girl that's where I'm gonna find you

Between the boy I was before 
And what I'm gonna be
There's a clash on the border
A flame in the sky
Girl that's where you're gonna find me

Can't you hear the planet groanin' 
Like a broken down machine
Rusted with the guilty tears 
Of fallen kings and queens
But you and I stand innocent
Baby it's a brand new world

Gimme the future 
Gimme the future
Gimme the future with a modern girl
Gimme the future
Gimme the future
Gimme the future with a modern girl

We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Laughin' while the road maps blow away
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
We're the son and the daughter and we ain't afraid
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Won't be makin' the mistakes our fathers made
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)

(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Oh, gimme the future with a modern girl
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
Oh, gimme the future with a modern girl

Once a beautiful Miss America 
Married Mr. Right
Had a little baby boy
Born on a stormy night
But that was once upon a time
Now it's a brand new world

Gimme the future
Gimme the future -
Gimme the future with a modern girl
