Joe's at work in a bar somewhere tryna pay his child support

Lookin' for a ticket to get out of there

but he keeps on coming up short

Outside on the road there's a great

divide to the right and to the left

The boys upstairs play either side to negotiate their theft

And we're just left

Giles pumps plastic down coast

A CEO so insincere

Such trials that result in time for most

pay him millions every year

On the frontlines it's a busy time

but no one knows the score

There ain't much room in this heart

of mine for a present day Cold War

And it's hard to find

A day where someone don't lose

Yeah, it's hard to find

Give me some of the good news

Won't someone be so kind

To help me with these issues?

Before we get bounced up, down to no end

In this modern living symphony again

Gunfire smoke, it ain't no joke in the West and in the East

Sent by seedy, greedy blokes who demand a prize for peace

Mary's on the floor outside her door

because the landlord changed the locks

That zero hour contract ain't too far

from smokin' rocks or tricks by the docks

And Holly-jo is raving because she found herself a spouse

But even with their savings they can't afford a house

Some walk the line

avoiding crime and standing on their feet

While others spend time stepping over bodies in the street

I'm beat

It's hard to find

A day where someone don't lose

Yeah, it's hard to find

Give me some of the good news

Won't someone be so kind

To help me with these issues?

Before we get bounced up, down to no end

In this modern living symphony

It's hard to find

A day where someone don't lose

Yeah, it's hard to find

Give me some of the good news

Won't someone be so kind

To help me with these issues?

Before we get bounced up, down to no end

In this modern living symphony again

In this modern living symphony again
