Progress

40,000 feet and 500 miles an hour
All I can think of is this willow tree
Holding grace by the lake
So tall and wide she stands with pride
Wanting nothing more than to be
I miss the willow tree
Gotta get out of this cage
Get away from the rage
Gonna go see where the birds drop down to make families
What the hell?
Where’d the marsh go?
‘Single family dwellings, Live by the lake’
All we really do is take, take, take!
You call this progress?
We take and take and take - take take take
You call this progress?
We take and take and take and take and take
Wanting nothing more than to be
You call this progress?
We take and take and take - take take take
We can do better than this
Get away from the rage
We can do better than this
Wanting nothing more than to be
