Midnight Oil - Progress Lyrics
Say yes to a real life ambition, say yes to our hopes and our plansForget about your indecision, lets get the beast off our landA tree that can grow no longer, a beach that has got no sandI would pay out a kings ransom, if we could just understandGot your last meal, filled up with pesticideHamburger chain third world infanticideGot robot car your jobs will disappearIts the politics of a brand new yearManhattanization is coming, open your eyes if you dareCarry us on to the crossroads, come to your senses and care16 million, I cant hear you at allSome say thats progressI say thats cruelYou may be safe in your hemisphereBut theres so much junk in the stratosphereWe got our eyes on the firmament, hands on the armamentsHeads full of arguments, and words for our monumentsI wont deny it, can we survive?Some say thats progressI say thats cruel.(moginie/garrett)
