Progress Lyrics

He's barely cleaned the crud of mud and blood

From under his fingernails

But he knows the way and the truth of life

And all that it entails

Now he's thinking about what will come after

All

But the sharks you owe

Are never far from home

When there's hell to pay

And he's feeling elite when he hits the street on

Feet still made of clay,

Now he's working on me

Cause glory be, he's in free

Fall

He's a god and he's an animal

Though they might seem incompatible

The only problem comes in

Thinkin he's all done

When he's only just begun

He's rarely thinking of things like peace and love

Only itches to be scratched

Though you can bet he'll feel some regret

It's only ever after the fact

Past reason what you hunted you hate now

You choked on that bait

Ah, but sometimes the crime gets in the hero's mind

Then it all falls through

Is he a pig in the muck or just a sheep that's stuck?

He's a product of the terrible two

The scary part is there's an option in your heart

To become what you hate

He's a god and he's an animal

Though they might seem incompatible

The only problem comes in

Thinking he's all done

When he's only just begun

Hey

Choose now your fight or flight to

Give up or give chase

Or best to just stay home and wait?

If there's a man with a plan

You know that you can't accuse him of being boring

'Cause though we might be out of luck

We're most definitely stuck

In the middle of an excellent story

So behold the man with a proper dose of shock and

Awe

Ah, you can trust the poet's guidance son

As you look over the fence

To tell you the things you cannot know yourself

Save through the damage of experience

Just hit the deck when you suspect that your direction's

Wrong

We are gods

And we are animals

Though that might seem incompatible

The only problem comes in

Thinking we're all done

When we're only just begun

Might be better to just stay home and wait

Choose now your fight or flight to

Give up or give chase

Or better to just stay home and wait

Just you wait
