Part I: Mass Hysteria 

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 

Mass 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 thought leads to full-throttle screaming 
And we welfare is 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 
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 niggers throwing gas into the hysteria" 

Mass 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, 
American is falling 
Vigilantes warning you 
Calling Christian and Gloria 

Part II: 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 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 
Fuckin' lies!

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 shit 
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 
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
