Compassion is at a stand still
Desensitized this day, never know
If we will make a change this way
I'm gonna try this time

Can you try this time?
We're gonna try this time
Don't wanna cry this time

The factories down the river
They illuminate the sky
Homeless people shiver
Profit is the reason why

You try to fight the symptoms
But you don't fight the disease
In some sense, you've done something
But it is you conscience that you please

Progress, greed
Their war machines
You've done, I've done
We've done nothing

So desperate to say something
But it's all just empty talk
Talk and talk but do nothing
While resources they exhaust

Poisoned air, polluted seas
Cancered bodies, burning trees
Sometimes I don't understand
War, death, disease, famine

Progress, greed
Their war machines
You've done, I've done
We've done nothing

Progress, make way, make way for
Progress, make way, make way for
Progress
Progress-greed
