[ti:Modern Times] [ar:New Model Army] [al:New Model Army Live At Maxwell] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Modern Times - New Model Army [00:40.46]It seems strange to write about these things now [00:43.16]But the time has probably come when we should [00:46.55]Accept whatever is past and gone and never will return [00:51.12] [00:52.06]Looking back to the beginning [00:54.32]I see a flood of painful memories [00:57.26]And the bitter hurt and wounded pride that comes with our defeat [01:03.68]We set out with our heads held high [01:06.75]So sure our ground our righteousness [01:09.65]The new Jerusalem to be built with love and guts and truth [01:14.37] [01:14.99]But in the end we surrendered easily [01:17.58] [01:18.33]It's no use pretending otherwise [01:20.82]Well most of us had a little something to lose enough to break our nerve [01:26.14] [01:38.44]Well some of us made an easy peace and moved into the Brave New World; [01:43.64]It's hard for the true believers to look back now and realise [01:49.02]That for many of the crowd it was just the fashion the cause of the moment [01:53.70]Well we if anyone should know that you can look pretty dumb [01:58.46]Standing in last year's clothes [02:01.35]And some of us shell-shocked still ran for shelter and do the rituals [02:07.22]The same old way pretending that someone out there cares [02:12.01] [02:12.76]And some of us live in the modern world [02:15.91]We give unto Caesar what is due [02:18.27]And harbour the bitterness of defeat and daydreams of revenge [02:24.22] [02:58.72]Now nothing you see out there is real [03:01.68]It matters not what you believe in [03:04.88]It matters less what you say but only what you are [03:09.72] [03:10.60]It matters what you are It matters what you are It matters what you are
