Progress

Progress Lyrics

Single cell, single celled organisms orchestrate
And synthesize and mutate
We have digits, we have organs, let us
Here is the process, we cannot stop the progress
There is fiction in our fission
There are actions in our words

Single cell
Single celled organisms organisms
Organize and multiply, divide and conquer
Onward Christian soldiers bring them
Here are the open sores, we are only carnivores
Onward Christian solders
We will get what we deserve
You can't stop, you can't stop the progress

Behind the strip malls the treetops are burning
And we couldn't wait to pave over the ashing
Till we can't see past what billboards all clouded
We watered the sidewalks and interstates sprouted
And now we can breathe like a phonograph skipping
And now we can sing like a meth lab exploding
We'll build skyscrapers together
We'll build skyscrapers together

We will get what we deserve
When our actions and our words
Speak louder than the curves in our bodies
