lirik lagu the progress of man – corey kilgannon
there used to be a fruit stand here
some sixty*five odd years ago
now they sell shiny cars to hipsters
who can’t afford them elsewhere
i grew up down the street
in a dimly lit apartment
shaped plastic cups in factories
that will long outlive my brothers
[chorus]
the progress of man leaves good men in its wake
the ship that holds our future departed yesterday
we burned all of earth’s motor fuel digging our own graves
pour one out for the working class, america’s modern day slaves
my better years blew by
while serving in the military
why is it our highest honor is
slaughtering each other’s families
when i go sailing i pretend
i’m walking on the water
jesus may forgive us mama
i can’t forgive myself
[chorus]
the progress of man leaves good men in its wake
the ship that holds our future departed yesterday
we burned all of earth’s motor fuel digging our own graves
pour one out for the working class, america’s modern day slaves
i used to watch the yankees play
with my father on the television
my own children find life boring
unless filtered through computers
i guess it’s not their fault
they ate what they were spoon fed
the money we made advertising
was blown on their prescriptions
[chorus]
the progress of man leaves good men in its wake
the ship that holds our future departed yesterday
we burned all of earth’s motor fuel digging our own graves
pour one out for the working class, america’s modern day slaves
