Progress Report


Progress is a story
the ego tells itself
to make its journey
bearable.

Progress is a myth
we tell our children
to give them something
to do.

Progress is a legend
I hold onto in my heart
because I'm not ready to
let it go.

  1. Song: Entitlement Generation

    Tear down the masterpieces,
    Deface The Scream
    Replace sacred places
    With your personal dream

    The body decomposes fast
    Nature drowns small towns
    Why honor the historical past
    Ignore what brings you down

    Stand above the fray and judge
    While the power’s still on
    Bear your brass like a grudge
    Against the godless dawn

    You make what’s true stay true
    Because you say it’s so
    So burn your books and spew
    All the insults you know
