As the dearth of new ideas
Remember life on earth is but a flash of dawn
One step closer to the future, one inch closer to the end
I say progress is a synonym of time
Just keep your fuckin' distance and it can't include you
It's progress, it's a message I'll send
And the cutting edge is dulling, too many people to plow through
And progress is a debt we all must pay
In red, white and blue
The odor of our land
Makes us wallow in our shame
We are all aware of it but it's nothing we refine
It's progress 'til there's nothing left to gain
To the destruction of this world you adore
It's convenience we all cherish, it's pollution we disdain
It's the structure of the future
As demise comes seething through
And progress is a message that we send
So before you go to contribute more
They speak of progress
And we're all part of it as the day rolls on
It's progress 'til there's nothing left to gain
