Electric Six - Making Progress lyrics

Love's nothing more than a stain on a dress
Watching things you sold being
Purchased for less
Euthanasia, that's easy to ingest
And they call this making progress

If you take a billion plus a little finesse
That dreamy Yale boy's cashing
In on their success then you take a bath in
Uncle Sam's treasure chest
That equals making progress

Meanwhile I am drowning in an ocean of stress
Analyzing data for a sure sure bet
An affordable commodity that I can invest
Your love, your sweet sweet love I guess
Baby, baby, it would be the best
If we got together tonight and regressed

It's not like we'd be devolving
And the world won't stop revolving
Could forget the problems no one's solving
Surely I jest
And you're not listening anyway

Where we go from here baby is anybody's guess
So repress your insecurities and
Take off that dress
Cause the day we realize no one
Can clean up this mess
Will be a fine day for making progress

Will be a fine day for making progress
