Miller Anderson - The Age Of Progress lyrics

The city sets the motion
And the people feel it's pace
Where it stops I have no motion
And the prospect is so hard to face
My room was dim I wished for better
But what I gained was so much worse
This concrete's garden is overgrowing
And the city life is just a curse
There's building reaching out they're
All around me stone fingers up to the sky
Keeping out the sun and air
That's all around me
Choked by these weeds I cry
It's the age of progress
It's the time for change
In the shadows of progress we all lie
It's the age of progress
It's the time for change
In the shadows of progress we all cry

Long time ago the world lost Eden
But we need not live in a wreckers yard
I find it hard to point my finger
When I have also taken part
Like the people with their heads in sand
Life's parades gone by
"We never saw or heard a word" they sang
They raised their head and they cried

It's the age of progress
It's the time for change
In the shadows of progress we all lie
It's the age of progress
It's the time for change
In the shadows of progress we all cry
