Somebody told me that I always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more u think, the less u act their ways
So can u hear this, the fake sound of progress

Never reason with a fool, but is that unkind,
Looks like I lost my mind once again
I know it all sounds so contrived, but its got to me
U know I've got to be more than this
Don't frown, don't scorn, cus I walk a different street to u
U look so worn, I bet that life is has got you blown
But it will never get to mee
Somebody told me that I always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more u think, the less u act their ways
So can u hear this, the fake sound of progress
And I feel the way u hold, hold me back from this
Chances that I've missed, now their gone
Apathy is all I sense, the feelings too intense
Sitting on a fence and cant decide
Don't frown, don't scorn, cus I walk a different street to u
U look so worn, I bet that life is has got you blown
No body will ever get to me
Somebody told me that I always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more u think, the less u act their ways
So can u hear this, the fake sound of progress

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 u hear the sound
Of all these people falling down
Growing back into the ground let me smile again...
Smile 

Tell me now can u hear the sound, of the record spinning
Round and round, for on and on it sounds like the same old
Song that I keep singing, it sounds like

Dah dah dah dah (yeahyeah sounds like) dah dah dah dah
(all these words that I accounted for, I'll never fear another day)

(improv!!)

Somebody told me that I always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more u think, the less you act their ways
So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress

Yeah yeah yeah progress

Make me smile again
(the fake sound of progress)
