Modern Love Story - Glassjaw

A boy, a girl- a love story

But why did it end in misery?

Taking our chances, getting our thrills.

Taking and taking but never getting our fill

And this is what I see

A modern love story

Love defined on our TV

Telling us, teaching us what we need

Are we in love or just so alone

That we’re looking for anyone to hold?

When the prey is caught, the thrill gone

So we’ll switch partners and move along

And we won’t use our brains

Because our lust is too strong

Overlooking the person to whom the body belongs
