[Verse 1]
And GprogresAs is not intBelligently planned;
It's the fGacade of our hDeritage, the Eodor of our F#land
They speak of GProgresAs, in rBed, white and blue
It's the sGtructure of the Dfuture as dEemise comes seething F#through
It's GProgresAs, 'til there's Bnothing left to gain
As the dGearth of new ideDas makes us Ewallow in our sF#hame
So befGore you go to contF#ribute more
To the destGruction of this wAorld you adore
Remember lGife on Earth is but a fF#lash of dawn
We're all pGart of it as the dAay rolls Bon
[Verse 2]
And GprogresAs is a meBssage that we send
One step clGoser to the fuDture, one inch clEoser to the F#end
I say GProgresAs is a sBynonym of time
We are aGll aware of Dit but it's nEothing we reF#fine
And GprogresAs is a dBebt we all must pay
Its cGonvenience we all cDherish, its pEollution we F#disdain
And the Gcutting edge is F#dulling
Too many Gfolks to plow thArough
Just kGeep your fucking F#distance
And it Gcan't iAnclude yBou
It's GProgresAs, 'til there's nBothing left to gain
It's GProgresAs, it's a mBessage that we send
And GprogresAs is a dBebt we all must pay

[Verse 1]

G A B

And progress is not intelligently planned;

G D E F#

It's the facade of our heritage, the odor of our land

G A B

They speak of Progress, in red, white and blue

G D E F#

It's the structure of the future as demise comes seething through

G A B

It's Progress, 'til there's nothing left to gain

G D E F#

As the dearth of new ideas makes us wallow in our shame

G F#

So before you go to contribute more

G A

To the destruction of this world you adore

G F#

Remember life on Earth is but a flash of dawn

G A B

We're all part of it as the day rolls on

[Verse 2]

G A B

And progress is a message that we send

G D E F#

One step closer to the future, one inch closer to the end

G A B

I say Progress is a synonym of time

G D E F#

We are all aware of it but it's nothing we refine

G A B

And progress is a debt we all must pay

G D E F#

Its convenience we all cherish, its pollution we disdain

G F#

And the cutting edge is dulling

G A

Too many folks to plow through

G F#

Just keep your fucking distance

G A B

And it can't include you

G A B

It's Progress, 'til there's nothing left to gain

G A B

It's Progress, it's a message that we send

G A B

And progress is a debt we all must pay

[Outro]

G D E F# B
