Lyrics A Modern Man - George Carlin
I
am
a
modern
man
A
man
for
the
millennium
Digital
and
smoke
free
A
diversified
multi-cultural,
post-modern
deconstruction
that
is
politically,
anatomically
and
ecologically
incorrect
I′ve
been
up
linked
and
downloaded
I've
been
inputted
and
outsourced
I
know
the
upside
of
downsizing
I
know
the
downside
of
upgrading
I′m
a
high-tech
low-life
A
cutting
edge
state-of-the-art
Bi-coastal
Multi-tasker
and
I
can
give
you
a
gigabyte
in
a
nanosecond
I'm
new
wave,
but
I'm
old
school
And
my
inner
child
is
outward
bound
I′m
a
hot-wired,
heat
seeking,
warm-hearted
cool
customer,
voice
activated
and
bio-degradable
I
interface
with
my
database
My
database
is
in
cyberspace
So
I′m
interactive,
I'm
hyperactive
and
from
time
to
time
I′m
radioactive
Behind
the
eight
ball,
ahead
of
the
curve
Ridin'
the
wave,
dodgin′
the
bullet
and
pushin
the
envelope
I'm
on-point,
on-task,
on-message
and
off
drugs
I′ve
got
no
need
for
coke
and
speed
I've
got
no
urge
to
binge
and
purge
I'm
in-the-moment,
on-the-edge,
over-the-top
and
under-the-radar
A
high-concept,
low-profile,
medium-range
ballistic
missionary
A
street-wise
smart
bomb
A
top-gun
bottom
feeder
I
wear
power
ties,
I
tell
power
lies
I
take
power
naps
and
run
victory
laps
I′m
a
totally
ongoing
big-foot,
slam-dunk,
rainmaker
with
a
pro-active
outreach
A
raging
workaholic,
a
working
rageaholic
Out
of
rehab
and
in
denial!
I′ve
got
a
personal
trainer,
a
personal
shopper,
a
personal
assistant
and
a
personal
agenda
You
can't
shut
me
up,
you
can′t
dumb
me
down
Because
I'm
tireless
and
I′m
wireless
I'm
an
alpha
male
on
beta-blockers
I′m
a
non-believer
and
an
over-achiever
Laid-back
but
fashion-forward
Up-front,
down-home,
low-rent,
high-maintenance
Super-sized,
long-lasting
High-definition,
fast-acting
Oven-ready
and
built-to-last
I'm
a
hands-on,
foot-loose,
knee-jerk
head
case
pretty
maturely
post-traumatic
And
I've
got
a
love-child
that
sends
me
hate
mail
But
I′m
feeling,
I′m
caring
I'm
healing,
I′m
sharing
--
a
supportive,
bonding,
nurturing
primary
care-giver
My
output
is
down,
but
my
income
is
up
I
took
a
short
position
on
the
long
bond
and
my
revenue
stream
has
its
own
cash
flow
I
read
junk
mail,
I
eat
junk
food
I
buy
junk
bonds
and
I
watch
trash
sports
I'm
gender
specific
, Capital
intensive,
user-friendly
and
Lactose
intolerant
I
like
rough
sex
I
use
the
"F"
word
in
my
emails
And
the
software
on
my
hard-drive
is
hardcore--no
soft
porn
I
bought
a
microwave
at
a
mini-mall
I
bought
a
mini-van
at
a
mega-store
I
eat
fast-food
in
the
slow
lane
I′m
toll-free,
bite-sized,
ready-to-wear
and
I
come
in
all
sizes
A
fully-equipped,
factory-authorized,
hospital-tested,
clinically-proven,
scientifically-formulated
medical
miracle
I've
been
pre-washed,
pre-cooked,
pre-heated,
pre-screened,
pre-approved,
pre-packaged,
post-dated,
freeze-dried,
double-wrapped,
vacuum-packed
And,
I
have
an
unlimited
broadband
capacity
I′m
a
rude
dude,
but
I'm
the
real
deal
Cocked,
locked
and
ready-to-rock
Rough,
tough
and
hard
to
bluff
I
take
it
slow,
I
go
with
the
flow
I
ride
with
the
tide,
I've
got
glide
in
my
stride
Drivin
and
movin′,
sailin′
and
spinnin',
jivin′
and
groovin',
wailin′
and
winnin'
I
don′t
snooze,
so
I
don't
lose
I
keep
the
pedal
to
the
metal
and
the
rubber
on
the
road
I
party
hearty
and
lunch
time
is
crunch
time
I'm
hangin′
in
there
ain′t
no
doubt
And
I'm
hangin′
tough,
over
and
out!
