This Thing Called Progress

[Verse 1]

Look to see where you've been from standing at the start again

Try to keep what you've got, even if it's not a lot

Stand up backwards, that's a fact, who's gonna follow your attack

Everyday people die and starve but not you

Crazy, mixed up, screwed up, it's all falling apart real fast

The next thing you hear might be an atomic blast

This thing called progress makes me sick

Businessmen, government, politicians, stacks it up

It's vital, punks, radicals, tear it down

Look to see where we've been from standing at the start again

Don't believe what you read

Crazy, mixed up, screwed up, it's falling apart real fast

Have fun this time around because it might be the last

This thing called progress makes me sick
