PARADE OF PROGRESS ~ lyrics
***
is this it?
is this progress?
first you see it
then you feel it
soon enough you believe it
gee ya know
I might try it
it could change your life
go buy it
go buy it
go buy it
GO BUY IT
buy it
starts out slow so you don't notice
down the road they up the dosage
feeling low?
feeling blue?
of course you are
we told you to
for everything that is wrong with you
buy a new chance to be improved
it's what you want
you know this
but what you don't is that
they own us
they own us
is this progress?
is it?
if we just keep marching forward
this parade of progress
slaves for dollars and nonsense
we’re all just marching forward
this charade of progress
the new world war order of the west
well it's work to live
rent to buy
any flavour, every size
and your condition may apply
for human rights at market price
so form a queue and stay in line!
is this progress?
money money money
money makes the world go around
the world go around, the world go around
it makes the world go around
that clinky clanky sound
money makes the world go around
the world go around, the world go around
the world go around, the world go around
money money money
money, money
sell your lies
help us hyper-normalize
this free market
it’s in disguise
we build our walls with dollar signs
we’re all just marching forward
this parade of progress
slaves for dollars and nonsense
we just keep marching forward
this charade of progress
the new world war order of the west
new world war order of the west
new world war order of the west
let me see
so there's risk that’s acceptable
and there’s greed that’s respectable
and when business runs as usual
your values they’re expendable
but the economy is always failing
while the cost of living it goes on inflating
now the planet's at the point of breaking
and the west is peacefully invading
the rich get richer
the poor die faster
the whole game’s fixed
by a corporate master
puppet leaders
snakes and ladders
profit margins
trump disaster
but is this progress?
is this progress?
we just keep marching forward
this parade of progress
slaves for dollars and nonsense yes
we’re all just marching forward
this charade of progress
the new world war order of the west
marching forward
this parade of progress
slaves for dollars and nonsense yes
we’re all just marching forward
this charade of progress
the new world war order of the west
but is this progress?
