Song Lyrics

Well there's sex in the sunny day
That shines down on Bolyston Street
And I love the USA
So share the modern world with me

'Cause I'm in love with the USA, now (I love the USA)
I'm in love with the modern world, now (and I love the modern world)
Put down the cigarette
And drop out of B.U.

Alright, that's right

Well, out in the afternoon
Out in the arid plane
We'll share a modern love
Under suburban rain

And me in love with the USA, now ( I love the USA)
And me in love with the modern world, now (and I love the modern world)
Put down the cigarette
And act like a true girl, oh

Well, out on Route 9
Well, it's bleak and nearly dying
Stop all this weak stuff
And drop out of B.U.

With me in love with the USA, now (I love the USA)
With me in love with the modern world, now (and I love the modern world)
Put down the cigarette
And drop out of high school, oh

Oh, that's right

Well, I'm in love with the USA, now (I love the USA)
I'm in love with the modern world, now (and I love the modern world)
Put down the cigarette
And act like a true girl

Well, listen
Well, the modern world is not so bad
And not like the students say
In fact I'd be in heaven
If you'd share the modern world with me

We'd be in love with the USA now (I love the USA)
We'd be in love with the modern world now (and I love the modern world)
Put down the cigarette
And share the modern world with me
