Beat Express performed Modern Life with the IPAF Orchestra at the finals of the European Song Festival in 2012.

lyrics

Verse 1
IT’S TOO FAST
SO FRUSTRATING
IT MAKES ME
WANT TO
CHANGE THE WHOLE THING
BRIGHTON IS NO EXCEPTION
MODERN LIFE
BRINGS US TO
ATTENTION

Chorus
THE STRESS OF MODERN LIFE
IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY
THE STREETS ARE CROWDED
NO BUSES RUN ON TIME
THE STRESS OF MODERN LIFE
IS FAR SO ODD
THE ONLY THING WE HAVE
IS TRAINS STUCK IN TUNNELS

Verse 2
TRAINS ARE DELAYED
WAITING FOR THE BUS SO LONG
ROAD WORKS CAUSING LINE UPS
HAS IT ALL GONE WRONG?
24 HOUR TELLY
FACEBOOK MYSPACE YOUTUBE
KICKING OUT THE RECORD STORE
BY SYNCING UP WITH ITUNES
