Progress

Dm Am G

[Verse 1]
Dm                                   Am                       G
Say yes to a real life ambition, say yes to our hopes and our plans
Dm                                  Am                    G
Forget about your indecision, let's get the beast off our land
Dm                                Am                    G
A tree that can grow no longer, a beach that has got no sand
Dm                                Am              G
I would pay out a king's ransom, if we could just understand

[Verse 2]
Dm                   Am             G
Got your last meal, filled up with pesticide
Dm               Am          G
Hamburger chain third world infanticide
Dm             Am            G
Got robot car your jobs will disappear
Dm                Am         G
It's the politics of a brand new year
C                   G       Am             C
Manhattanization is coming, open your eyes if you dare
C                  G           Am           C
Carry us on to the crossroads, come to your senses and care

[Pre-chorus]
Bm          C            Bm        D
16 million, I can't hear you at all

[Chorus]
Em       C              Em D
Some say that's progress
Em     C          Em D
I say that's cruel

[Instrumental]
Dm Am G

[Verse 2]
Dm              Am      G
You may be safe in your hemisphere
Dm                  Am          G
But there's so much junk in the stratosphere
Dm                                Am           G
We got our eyes on the firmament, hands on the armaments
Dm                       Am                G
Heads full of arguments, and words for our monuments

[Pre-chorus]
Bm           C   Bm     D
I won't deny it, can we survive?

[Chorus]
Em       C              Em D
Some say that's progress
Em     C           Em D
I say that's cruel.
