The fake sound of progress

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

Never reason with a fool
But is that unkind?
Looks like i've lost my mind, once again
I know it all sounds so contrived
But its got to me, you know I've got to be more than this

Don't fret, don't scorn, cos I walk a different street to you
You look so worn, I bet that life has got you broke
But it will never get to me

Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more you think, the less you act their way
So can you hear this? The fake sound of progress And I feel the way you hold, hold me back from this
Chances that i've missed now they're gone
Apathy is all I sense, the feeling's too intense
Sitting on the fence, can't decide

Don't fret, don't scorn, cos I walk a different street to you
You look so worn, I bet that life has got you broke
But it will never get to me

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

All these words and I count to four
Never feel another day
All these times and I need more
Make me take away
Tell me now, can you hear the sound?
Of all these people falling down
Who went back into the ground
Make me smile again
RAAAAAAAAAAAA SWING IT!!! It sounds like dada..yeah it sounds like this

All these words and I count to four
Never feel another day
All these times and I want more
Make me take away
All these words and I count to four I'll never feel another day
It makes me take away

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

You make me smile again (the fake sound of progress)
You make me smile again (the fake sound of progress)
You make me smile again (the fake sound of progress)
