Progress (live)

Laurie Anderson

Hansel and Gretel are alive and well
And they're living in Berlin
She is a cocktail waitress
He had a part in a Fassbinder film

And they sit around at night now
Drinking schnapps and gin
And she says: "Hansel, you're really bringing me down."
And he says: "Gretel, you can really be a bitch."

He says: "I've wasted my life
On our stupid legend
When my one and only love
Was the wicked witch."

She said: "What is history?"
And he said: "History is an angel
Being blown
Backwards
Into the future."
He said: "History is a pile of debris
And the angel wants to go back and fix things
To repair the things that have been broken."

But there is a storm blowing from Paradise
And the storm keeps blowing the angel
Backwards
Into the future

And this storm
This storm
Is called
Progress
