Sing us the song of the century
That sings like American eulogy
The dawn of my love and conspiracy

Of forgotten hope and the class of '13
Tell me a story into that goodnight
Sing us a song for me


Hysteria
Mass hysteria

Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria


Red alert is the color of panic
Elevated to the point of static
Beating into the hearts of the fanatics

And the neighborhood's a loaded gun

Idle thoughts lead to full-throttle screaming

And the welfare's asphyxiating
Mass confusion is all the new rage
And it's creating a feeding ground for the bottom feeders of


Hysteria
Mass hysteria

Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria


True sounds of maniacal laughter
And the deaf-mute is misleading the choir
The punch line is a natural disaster

And it's sung by the unemployed

Fight fire with a riot

The class war is hanging on a wire
Because the martyr is a compulsive liar
When he said it's just a bunch of !@$@s throwing gas into the


Hysteria
Mass hysteria

Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria


There's a disturbance on the Oceanside
They tapped into the reserve
The static response is so unclear now


Mayday this is not a test!
As the neighborhood burns

America is falling

Vigilantes warning you

Calling Christian and Gloria

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world


I'm the class of '13
In the era of dissent

A hostage of the soul
On a strike to pay the rent
The last of the rebels

Without a common ground
I'm gonna light a fire
Into the underground


I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world


I am a nation
Without bureaucratic ties
Deny the allegation as it's written


I want to take a ride to the great divide
Beyond the "up to date"
And then neo-gentrified
The high definition for the low resident

Where the value of your mind
Is not held in contempt
I can hear the sound of
A beating heart
That bleeds beyond a system

That's falling apart
With money to burn
On a minimum wage
'Cause I don't give a %#@!
About the modern age


I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world


Mass Hysteria
I don't want to live in the modern world
Mass Hysteria
I don't want to live in the modern world
Mass Hysteria

I don't want to live in the modern world
Mass Hysteria
I don't want to live in the modern world
Mass Hysteria
I don't want to live in the modern world
Mass Hysteria
I don't want to live in the modern world

Mass Hysteria
I don't want to live in the modern world
Mass Hysteria
I don't want to live in the modern world
Mass Hysteria
I don't want to live in the modern world
Mass Hysteria

I don't want to live in the modern world
