Modern Fables Lyrics

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I founded a faith
I built it on modern fables
The stories were true
They just didn't make much sense
The reminder that's been forgotten
In the hope that we need not know
We dissolved in our own solution
All the promises we made long ago

I founded a faith
You called it a false religion
I said you were right
It's nothing to do with god

It's the novel that won't be written
It's the letter that no one sends
It's the jury without decision
And we've already reached the end, because

This machine can barely function
Under the weight of rocks and bones
But we can continue making progress
If we never know
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I founded a faith
You said it was raw and foolish
But left all alone
You gave in and joined the throng

You embraced all the sweet delusions
Let your constant reminder go
The result's a foregone conclusion
And your countenance tells us so, now listen
This machine can barely function
From running around the neighbour's bend
But there's nothing to stop us making progress
If we just pretend
Come on, let's pretend

We're really, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
We're really, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Come on and let's pretend
(Modern fables, they will tell the truth of anyone)
We're really, ooh, ooh, ooh
(Modern fables, they will tell the truth of anyone)
Come on and let's pretend
(Modern fables, they will tell the truth of anyone)
Ah, ooh, ah, ooh, ooh, ooh
(Modern fables, they will tell the truth of anyone)
