Modern Idols lyrics with English Translations
Talking 'bout the junkies fix
And the skinheads fist and the planets course
And the new titanic and the instamatic and the Trojan horse
And they make them out of clay
They make them out of words, philosophers say
And in the end you're all alone
And your flesh turn to bone
And it fades away and I say
These (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols) I say these (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols)
And they worship the state, their wealth And their pleasure and their power and their pain And they worship themself Their birth and their health and the size of their brain And they say the divine Ain't nothing but the image of their own design But they can't seem to wish away the big black cloud Where the sun used to shine and I say
These (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols) I say these (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols)
They say a cultured man Is the symbol of emancipation And they pray to the gods of science for salvation But while the symphony plays, the SS sprays poison gas They say a cultured man has only learned to kill With a touch of class and I say
These (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols) I say these (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols)
Yeah, these (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols) I say these (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols)
These (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols) I say these (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols)
And they worship the state, their wealth And their pleasure and their power and their pain And they worship themself Their birth and their health and the size of their brain And they say the divine Ain't nothing but the image of their own design But they can't seem to wish away the big black cloud Where the sun used to shine and I say
These (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols) I say these (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols)
They say a cultured man Is the symbol of emancipation And they pray to the gods of science for salvation But while the symphony plays, the SS sprays poison gas They say a cultured man has only learned to kill With a touch of class and I say
These (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols) I say these (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols)
Yeah, these (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols) I say these (are) these are the modern idols (These are the modern idols)
