Progress Lyrics

Its another boarded house down the street

Its like the same old story is playing on repeat

It's two more empty shops down on main street

but a brand new parking lot up by the interstate

Its another family farm split into pieces

With cookie cutter houses and white fences

Its all our buildings getting taller

While our dollars getting smaller

Sending all our jobs overseas

You call that progress

You call that progress

Its another round of layoffs at the factory

Forget your pensions boys yeah that ain't happening

More budget cuts are coming for the high school

Yeah fifty some odd kids crammed in a classroom

Its another families heart split into pieces

Cause daddy lost his job and he feels useless

Meanwhile our debt is getting taller

And our faith is getting smaller

We're just hoping that our prayers are getting through

You call that progress

You call that progress

Gimme that dust to dust and ash to ashes

From dust to dust and ash to ashes

Dust to dust and ash to ashes

Dust to dust and ash to ashes

Dust to dust and ash to ashes

Gimme that dust to dust and ash to ashes
