*'PROGRESS' (LYRICS)*
[Verse 1 ]
They paved the grass to plant a sign,
They built a bank where kids would climb,
They say it’s better, call it “new,”
But all it sells is less of you.

[Pre-Chorus]
And they clap, clap, clap for the mayor in his chain,
While the rain still drips in the old school lane.

[Chorus]
Progress, oh, it’s marching in time,
With a flag in its fist and your pound and your dime,
Progress, it’s a smiling face,
With a hand in your pocket and a changing place.

[Verse 2]
They closed the hall where choirs sang,
They’ve “modernised” the Sunday gang,
They’ve turned the green into a car parade,
And painted joy in a greyer shade.

[Pre-Chorus]
And they clap, clap, clap for the mayor in his chain,
While the rain still drips in the old school lane.

[Chorus]
Progress, oh, it’s marching in time,
With a flag in its fist and your pound and your dime,
Progress, it’s a smiling face,
With a hand in your pocket and a changing place.

[Bridge]
You can’t eat the skyline,
You can’t drink the view,
But they’ll sell it to you for a profit or two.

[Final Chorus]
Progress, oh, it’s marching in time,
With a flag in its fist and your pound and your dime,
Progress, it’s a smiling face,
With a hand in your pocket and a changing place.
Progress… progress… oh, progress…
