Martin Rotsey - Progress lyrics

Say yes to a real life ambition, say yes to our hopes and our plans Forget about your indecision, let's get the beast off our land A tree that can grow no longer, a beach that has got no sand I would pay out a king's ransom, if we could just understand Got your last meal, filled up with pesticide Hamburger chain third world infanticide Got robot car your jobs will disappear It's the politics of a brand new year Manhattanization is coming, open your eyes if you dare Carry us on to the crossroads, come to your senses and care 16 million, I can't hear you at all Some say that's progress I say that's cruel You may be safe in your hemisphere But there's so much junk in the stratosphere We got our eyes on the firmament, hands on the armaments Heads full of arguments, and words for our monuments I won't deny it, can we survive? Some say that's progress I say that's cruel
