Progress

It was carnage None of us were surprised I could see your disappointment Seething beneath the surface You did your best, but you failed to hide Your anger You wanted to climb the tallest structure Scream at the world For their lack-lustre The apathy that drags us under This dumbing down that they call Progress The heart and soul of the world is lost But widescreen comes at a fraction of the cost Progress I see corporation profits soar But the homeless people outside my door Still look cold and hungry Episode one, it's a brand new season Sign the mandate, give your life reason Subject matter in the office kitchen No-one subscribes to individualism Any more And when the cult becomes the norm The advantageous label stays The newbies just don't see it As the originality falls away Progress The heart and soul of the world is lost But widescreen comes at a fraction of the cost Progress I see corporation profits soar But the homeless people outside my door Still look cold and hungry
