Lyrics

Progress

[Verse 1: Scott Kelly & Dave Edwardson]

How much truth can you take?

Lies so pure

Hidden eyes

Victimized too secure

[Chorus: Scott Kelly & Everyone]

You live your life, suicide

Content from fear

[Verse 2: Scott Kelly & Dave Edwardson]

Beaten down and kept in line

Commit no sin

Programmed mind

Self-confined wall closed in

[Chorus: Scott Kelly & Everyone]

You live your life, suicide

Content from fear

[Verse 3: Scott Kelly]

Greed controls our lives

Money kills

Taught to think and act and lie

Break the will
