Modern Man (Theme Song)

Modern Man
can do any thing
with the strength of seven billion

and gathering,

With the understanding, in modern terms
that gender being cultural fiction and all,
or so we've learned
so we can see
that Modern Man is you
and me

AND
TIME IS NOW!
THE MOMENT OURS
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S NEXT?
YOU KNOW WE CAN!

IT'S FINALLY
IT HAD TO BE
HERE COMES THE DAY
IT'S MODERN MAN!

Modern Man's
got active blood
and etherwaves and satellites
It's learning exponentially
It's learning that

it's not enough

to get it right
by increments
takes guts and blood
and time and sense
and money spent

AND
TIME IS NOW!
THE MOMENT OURS
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S NEXT?
YOU KNOW WE CAN!

IT'S FINALLY
IT HAD TO BE
HERE COMES THE DAY
IT'S MODERN MAN!

We just found out the greatest news:
that we control the climate now!
Without our even trying to!
Or soon we will - now we've found out.

What we can change: We can control.
Now that we know - it just
takes knowing how.

And knowing how
has, by degrees, been
pretty much our specialty
- so easily! our knowing goes.

Check out our cars and phones,
and clothes!

AND
TIME IS NOW!
THE MOMENT OURS
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S NEXT?
YOU KNOW WE CAN!

IT'S FINALLY
IT HAD TO BE
HERE COMES THE DAY
IT'S MODERN MAN!
