Name: Progress
Duration: P00H03M52S
Description: This is one of the oldest songs I have, it was on my "Fool's Gold" EP once upon a time. While I feel like the verses are long, that's the charm of the song. Andrew definitely thinks they're too long but I get to make the executive decisions so suck it dude.

about

This is one of the oldest songs I have, it was on my "Fool's Gold" EP once upon a time. While I feel like the verses are long, that's the charm of the song. Andrew definitely thinks they're too long but I get to make the executive decisions so suck it dude.

lyrics

so this is the future
the population hunched over
unable to speak
and without empathy
the dinner table
has grown so lonesome
with silent bodies
illuminated by bright screens

the children all think
they're so clever
the adults know better
but not for long
i guess there's nothing wrong
with that

and no one is to blame
after all it's so addicting
with mild entertainment
at your fingertips
so ignore your friends
for friends who aren't here
because they aren't
listening anyway

the children all think
they're so clever
the adults know better
but not for long
i guess there's nothing wrong
with that
