Somebody told me that I always have to bow If that was true I would have fallen apart by now The more you think, the less you act their ways So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress... Never reason with a fool, but is that unkind? Looks like I've lost my mind once again I know it all sounds so contrived, but it's got to me You know I've got to be more than this Don't frown, don't scorn, coz I walk a different street to you You look so worn, I bet that life is has got you blown But it will never get to me Somebody told me that I always have to bow If that was true I would have fallen apart by now The more you think, the less you act their ways So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress And I feel the way you hold, hold me back from this Chances that I've missed, now their gone Apathy is all I sense, the feeling's too intense Sitting on a fence, can't decide Don't frown, don't scorn, coz I walk a different street to you You look so worn, I bet that life is has got you blown But it will never get to me Somebody told me that I always have to bow If that was true I would have fallen apart by now The more you think, the less you act their ways So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress All these words that I accounted for, never fear another day Always charged but I need more, make me take away... Tell me now, can you hear the sound Of all these people falling down Crawling back into the ground, make me smile again... Ahh swing it! Tell me now can you hear the sound? Of records spinning round and round On and on it seems like the same old song that I keep singing It sounds like... Da da da da da da da da da... It sounds like... Da da da da da da da da da... It sounds like this... All these words that I accounted for, never fear another day Always charged but I need more, make me take away... All these words that I accounted for... I'll never fear another day Makes me take away! Somebody told me that I always have to bow If that was true I would have fallen apart by now The more you think, the less you act their ways So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress Make me smile again... (the fake sound of progress) Make me smile again... (the fake sound of progress) Make me smile again... (the fake sound of progress)
