Modern Job Lyrics

I wish I was bolder

I wish I was brave

And I wish I didn't count my days

By the things I didn't say

And I wish I had the guts

I wish I had the gall

I wish I had a girl

I wish I had it all

I wish that I was married

I wish that I was rich

I wish I had the life

And I wish that this wasn't it

'Cause I want a modern job

A modern life

With modern money

And a modern wife

The modern window

The modern hall

The modern fiction

And modern foe

I want the modern garden

And modern guile

With the modern jargon

The modern smile

The modern good

The modern bad

But this modern hope

That's all I have

I wish I was bolder

I wish I was brave

And I wish I didn't count my days

By the things I didn't say

And I wish I had the guts

I wish I had the gall

I wish I had a girl

I wish I had it all

I wish that I was married

I wish that I was rich

I wish I had the life

And I wish that this wasn't it

'Cause I want a modern job

A modern life

With modern money

And a modern wife

The modern window

The modern hall

The modern fiction

And modern foe

I want the modern garden

And modern guile

With the modern jargon

The modern smile

The modern good

The modern bad

But this modern hope

That's all I have

I want it all

Oh, I wish I had it all

Oh, I wish I had it all

Oh, I wish I had it

Oh, I wish I had it

Oh, I wish I had it

I wish I was bolder

I wish I was brave

I wish I didn't count my days

By the things I didn't say

And I wish I had a modern job

A modern life

With modern money

And a modern wife

The modern window

The modern hall

The modern fiction

And a modern foe

I want the modern garden

And modern guile

With a modern jargon

The modern smile

The modern good

The modern bad

But this modern hope

It's all I have

I want it all

Oh, I wish I had it all

Oh, I wish I had it all

Oh, I wish I had it

Oh, I wish I had it

Oh, I wish I had it all!
