The fifth track on Loose Nut, Modern Man contains original bassist Chuck Dukowski’s final writing credit for the band. Chuck left the band in 1983 and became the band’s manager.
The song appears to be about being unable to sustain relationships with others due to the stresses of the modern world.
Modern Man Lyrics
[Verse]
He's too straight and you can wait
I'm Modern Man
I've only got time for a few, and not you
I'm Modern Man
I'll push you hard, I can't know you
I'm Modern Man
Cause then we'd have to be friends, and that just won't do
Modern Man, Modern Man
[Chorus]
Living tomorrow is everyone's sorrow
Modern Man's daydreams have turned into nightmares
[Verse]
That's why I sing; to share what I feel
I'm Modern Man
The things I need in this world
I'm Modern Man
If you don't like it, you can leave me alone
Modern Man, Modern Man
When I talk to you I want to hang up the phone
I'm Modern Man, a Modern Man
[Chorus]
Living tomorrow is everyone's sorrow
Modern man's daydreams have turned into nightmares
[Verse]
He's too straight and you can wait
I'm Modern Man
I've only got time for a few, and not you
I'm Modern Man
I'll push you hard, I can't know you
I'm Modern Man
Cause then we'd have to be friends, and that just won't do
I'm Modern Man, Modern Man
[Chorus]
Living tomorrow is everyone's sorrow
Modern man's daydreams have turned into nightmares
