R.I.P. Lyrics

Look at us go spinning our wheels

Can't wait for tomorrow we're pushing our heels

The next cool device, the newest machines

Making life easy, keeping hands clean

Kids getting fatter eating burgers and fries

From the fridge to the tv is enough exercise

Mommy can't cook and daddy works late, the family's scattered

When's the last time you ate together

It's regress in progress, ignoring what's at stake

It's regress in progress, it's time to hit the brakes

The trash on the screen has got our attention while we're being screwed

Hey did i not mention, the owners are stashin' the money we're making

Just like eddie said it's a life for the taking, life for the taking

We abandon our skills, we're being replaced by digits and wires

Man we're loosing this race

Mountains of garbage, up to our necks in plastic, dark waters rise

Still we're feeling fantastic

It's regress in progress, ignoring what's at stake

It's regress in progress, it's time to hit the brakes

Sitting so comfy in our lazy chairs

Waiting for someone who comes and repairs

All the leaks and the spills, the smog and pollution

Is there somebody out there who has the solution... solution

Politicians won't do it, held back by strings

But this show ain't over 'til the fat lady sings

So it's all up to us to get up off our asses

Change will come when dictated by masses

It's regress in progress, ignoring what's at stake

It's regress in progress, it's time to hit the brakes

Regress in progress, ignoring what's at stake

Regress in progress, time to hit the brakes

It's regress in progress, diminishing our kin

Regress in progress, the ultimate sin
