I feel uptight when I walk in the city

I feel so cold when I'm at home

Feels like everything's starting to hit me

I lost my bearings ten minutes ago

Modern guilt, I'm stranded with nothing

Modern guilt, I'm under lock and key

Misapprehension

Is turning into convention

Don't know what I've done but I feel ashamed

Standing outside the glass on the sidewalk

These people talk about impossible things

And I'm falling out of the conversation

And I'm a pawn piece in a human shield

Modern guilt is all in our hands

Modern guilt won't get me to bed

Say what you will

Smoke your last cigarette

Don't know what I've done but I feel afraid
