Modern Trick

I wanna live my life in stereo cuz nothing real is going right
when i want someone to turn me on i can signal with my red light
when i want to i can amplify the parts of me you like the best
just the same i can equalize the two loud parts of the rest

i wanna live my life in telephone cuz all that's real is going south
when i want to i can hang it up
before what's in the heart gets to the mouth
there will be a directory and all i have to do is look you up
then i'll know just where you're at before i go and mess it up

i wanna live my life in video so i can rewind the parts i like the best.
i look forward to the episodes that haven't happened yet.
i can leave all the sad parts out i can change the way the story goes.
make myself the main character, put you in the supporting role.
