Текст песни: Modern Day American Girl + перевод

Woke up this morning and I put my feet on the cold floor

I fed the cat and washed the dishes from the night before

I took the movies back, the ones I tried to watch until dawn

But I fell asleep with all my make-up and the house lights on

I read the paper and I pour myself a cup of tea

I think about the world and I wonder how it pertains to me

So many people struggling in between what’s right and what’s wrong

While I fall asleep with all my make-up and the house lights on

Another day just come and gone

In this world

I am a modern day American girl

And I don’t know if I like it

In this world

I am a modern day American girl

I got one hand in my pocket

Can I talk about it?

I’ve got so much information and no experience

Everything I want to do has already been done

I see my situation and the consequences

As I’m laying on the couch with the t.v. on

Just feeling comfortably numb

(Guitar solo)

I need some inspiration and some confidence

It’s getting hard for me to get turned on

I see my situation and the consequences

As I’m laying on the couch with the t.v. on

Woke up this morning to the sound of someone at my door

It was a man and he was asking for my signature

He said, «It's for a special cause

To save the planet from its fate

And all we need are a million signatures

Before it gets too late»

I said, «I'd like to help, role up my sleeves

And join the cause, what do you need?»

«All we need is your money and you name on the line

Please sign in black, cash will do just fine»

I wrote a check, he talked the game

He said, «Thanks so much, Ms… what's your name?»

He shook my hand and when he was gone

I fell back into bed with all my make-up

And the house lights on

Another day just come and gone

In this world I am a modern day American girl

And I don’t know if I like it

In this world I am a modern day American girl

I got one hand in my pocket

Oh, in this world I am a modern day American girl
