Progress Has Stopped

Progress stops while the world has a fag.

It’s just forgone any plans it had.

And we’re shuffled off to be with our dreams of the stars.

If the Romans had prevailed, we could have colonized Mars.

Oh, to be the ones who get there first!

Oh, to feel the thrill, the chase, the rush!

Oh, to see our plans all turn to dust!

Progress has stopped! Or is it just me?

It gets uncomfortable with change.

Don’t move on, keep it all the same.

Give me more of what I want! Give me technology!

The more I have, the less I need.

Oh, to be the one who gets it first!

Oh, to feel the thrill, the chase, the rush!

Oh, to see our dreams all turn to dust!
