| Marilyn’s queen of the scene
|
| In a humble abode, by the bowling green
|
| Marilyn, she collects names
|
| With picture profile, computer games to hang on
|
| In the modern world, pretty boys and girls
|
| We’ve been hangin' on forever
|
| By the radio with the afterglow
|
| Mama told you, «Now or never»
|
| Vampires out in the sun
|
| Gothic girls, she’s the pregnant one
|
| Her Indian paw doesn’t work
|
| He’s a trust fund straight edge soda jerk, so bang on
|
| In the modern world, pretty boys and girls
|
| We’ve been hangin' on forever
|
| By the radio with the afterglow
|
| Mama told you, «Now or never»
|
| That’s entertainment, she changes her name
|
| And finds liberation in the bathtub rain
|
| The Indians want back the Bronx
|
| Her kid hides his face in a cereal box
|
| Marilyn wants to break free
|
| But lately it’s ice cream and bad TV to hang on
|
| In the modern world, pretty boys and girls
|
| We’ve been hangin' on forever
|
| By the radio with the afterglow
|
| Mama told you, «Now or never»
|
| In the modern world, pretty boys and girls
|
| We’ve been hangin' on forever
|
| It’s so Avant-grade with your Platinum card
|
| But you won’t return to sender
|
| A little gender bender
|
| Come on and fuck forever
|
| In the modern world
|
| In the modern world |
