Progress Success

Progress, success, consumerism, we think its advancement,
Its not, it’s really cancer disguised in the mess.
Rapidly growing, rapidly expanding, consuming.
Tell me, would you eat yourself till there’s nothing left?

America you sicken me, killing life and feeding of death.
America you sicken me, feeding off the hopeless and grotesque.
When will you stop or will you go till there’s nothing?

When I was in Europe the worst I saw was bare human flesh.
But in America the FCC doesn’t think that the body blessed.
Instead of bare breast we expose violence.
Here on TV we sever heads instead of silence and you
Wonder why our children are voiceless.

They learn to articulate their feelings with actions like anger, rage,
Distrust and greed. We should be showering them with love,
Happiness, compassion. This is what they really need.

America wake up before it’s too late to fulfill the need.
America wake up now before there is no air left to breathe
