"The Fake Sound Of Progress"


[chorus:]
Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
If that was true I'd have fallen apart by now
The more you think the less you act their way
So can you hear this? The fake sound of progress

Never reason with a fool, but is that unkind?
Looks like I've lost my mind once again
I know it all sounds so contrived, but it's got to me
You know I've got to be more than this

[bridge:]
Don't fret, don't scorn, 'cause I walk a different street to you
You look so worn, I bet that life has got your blown
But it will never get to me

[chorus]

And I feel the way you hold, hold me back from this
Chances that I've missed, now they're gone
Apathy is all I sense, the feeling's too intense
Sittin' on the fence, can't decide

[bridge]

[chorus]

All these words that I accounted for
Never fear another day
All these choices I need more
Make me take away
Tell me now can you hear the sound?
Of all these people falling down
Grow me back into the ground
Make me smile again

Swing it!

It sounds like
(da da da da da da da da) (repeat in background)

All these words that I accounted for
Never fear another day
All these choices I want more
Make me take away
All these words that I accounted for
I'll never fear another day
It makes me take away

[chorus]

Make me smile again (the fake sound of progress)
Make me smile again, yeah (the fake sound of progress)
Make me smile again (the fake sound of progress)
