The Fake Sound of Progress

Lyrics

[Intro] Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow If that was true I would 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? [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Don't frown, don't scorn 'Cause I walk a different street to you You look so worn I bet that life has got you blown But it will never get to me [Chorus] Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow If that was true I would 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? [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Don't frown, don't scorn 'Cause I walk a different street to you You look so worn I bet that life has got you blown But it will never get to me [Chorus] Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow If that was true I would 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? [Bridge] All these words that I accounted for, never fear another day Always charged but I need more, make me take away Tell me now, can you hear the sound Of all these people fallin' down? Growin' back into the ground, make me smile again (Raah, swing it!) [Break] (It sounds like) Da-da-da, da-da-da-dadada Dada-da-da, da-da-da-dadada (It sounds like) Da-da-da, da-da-da-dadada Dada-da-da, da-da-da-dadada (It sounds like this) All these words that I accounted for, never fear another day Always charged and 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] Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow If that was true I would have fallen apart by now The more you think, the less you act their ways So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress? [Outro] 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)
