How Is This Progress?

Are we too big to fail?
Is this our final run?
The greed has set the nail
Into the fate of what we have become
History repeats itself
The price keeps going up
Destroying everything
Why can't you leave it as it was?

We look at this world like something to own
To devastate, accumulate, to profit from

We're still running around in the wrong direction
Not much has changed in the way we live
We have not evolved since our new beginnings
They call this progress
How is this progress?

See how we bleed the land
The green is wrong side up
Eroding down to sand
When will it ever be enough
History repeats itself
The killing won't let up
We fight them in defence
Our mother nature's had enough

We look at this world like something to own
To devastate, accumulate, to profit from

We're still running around in
The wrong direction
Not much has changed in the way we live
We have not evolved since our new beginnings
They call this progress
How is this progress?

As they decimate the trees
Empty the oceans out
We turn this whole world upside down
They do as they please, for what they shout
Is progress
Progress!

We're still running around in
The wrong direction
How are we most aware but do nothing
We're dying for man's pride and greed
The devastation's live on TV

We're still running around in
The wrong direction
Not much has changed in the way we live
We have not evolved since our new beginnings
They call this progress
How is this progress?
