All in the Name of Progress

Strip it down, lay it bare
It’s just as good, it’s just as fair
Rid the chaff, all the dead wood
Just for a change, make it sharp, sharp, sharp, sharp…

Now we’re riding on the crest of a wave
Looking down on all that we survey
We’re smiling on the crest of a wave
Who’d have thought this would ever have happened... One day...

Take it back, right to the heart
Make it simple, brand new start
Primal fear, what you feel
Adrenaline rush, it’s got to be real
Strip it down, lay it bare
It’s just as good, it’s just as fair
Rid the chaff, all the dead wood
Just for a change, make it sharp, sharp, sharp, sharp…
Sharp, sharp, sharp, sharp…

Now we’re riding on the crest of a wave
Looking down on all that we survey
We’re smiling on the crest of a wave
Who’d have thought this would ever have happened... One day...

All in the name of progress
Moving on, yeah we’re moving on

I feel that it’s happened before
But I just can’t quite place the time
All in the name of progress…
Moving on, yeah we’re moving on

Sometimes we have rationalize
Sometimes we have to sacrifice
Decisions we make, actions we take
Principles we sometimes break
All in the name of progress

The waves are lapping at my door…
