This Thing Called Progress

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, its all falling apart real fast
The next thing you hear might be an atomic blast
This thing called progress makes me sick

Businessmen, politicians, government, 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
