Reprobates - Abandoned City lyrics

Abandoned hopes, abandoned dreams The wreckage splitting at the seams Our once bright past, we try to ignore The golden age's open sores You can't stop progress This is progress You can't stop progress 'Cause this is progress It's boarded up, it's desolate Wasted lives we try to forget All that's left, the bitter taste Of better times, now human waste You can't stop progress This is progress You can't stop progress 'Cause this is progress The future's so bright, it's what they say They tried so hard but now it just wastes away Living in a dead world Living in a wasteland There's nothing left for me But the rotting corpse of society You can't stop progress This is progress You can't stop progress 'Cause this is progress We tried so hard, now it's decay Our proudest work just wastes away These are surely modern times Our lives are falling between the lines
