“Modern Times” - A new song

Another single of Matti Caspi from the upcoming album.
Just like in Charlie Chaplin’s film from 1936, the new song “Modern Times” is about how we each are like little screws in the big machine of life. The lyrics to Matti Caspi’s music wrote Danny Robas. Matti Caspi is in charge of arrangement and musical production, and Yoad Nevo is in charge of the mixing.

“Modern Times”

Music: Matti Caspi
Lyrics: Danny Robas

You’re on a conveyor belt inside the machine
Looking for a spot to lay your head on for a moment
Following the rules, abiding the regulations
They are small screws but they can never resign

Vagabond clothes, everything that was once is long lost
And there is no more energy to try and escape here
Black and white…

You’re in a movie, running tired and shrunken
Searching for a bay to sail away and get out of here
In an unending current now you must go and fetch
Noise all around and it’s alarming and dangerous

Vagabond clothes, everything that was once is long lost
And there is no more energy to try and escape here
Black and white…

They are watching you, there’s not a moment of rest
They are expecting one hundred percent production from you
You’re on a conveyor belt inside the machine
Seeing the picture, seeing and unable to move

Vagabond clothes, everything that was once is long lost
And there is no more energy to try and escape here
Black and white…
