Nik Kershaw - Progress Lyrics

Do you see that metal man building your car?
That's progress!
When you don't know who the real ones are
That's progress!
I'd like to watch TV tonight
But I've got to paint my windows white
If the blues don't get you, then the valium might
That's progress!

CHORUS:
That's progress!
That's progress!
That's progress!
They tell you, they tell you that's progress!
If that's progress...
If that's progress...
If that's progress...
I'd rather have no gress than progress!

Follow us, we're walking sideways...

Got my lead umbrella for the acid rain, that's progress!
Got my excess fun for the excess strain, that's progress!
The crazy level goes up one notch
With the American dream and Japanese Scotch
When you're beaten at chess by your digital watch
That's progress!

That's progress!
That's progress!
That's progress!
They tell you, they tell you that's progress!
If that's progress...
If that's progress...
If that's progress...
I'd rather have no gress than progress!

Follow us, we're walking sideways...
Follow us, we're walking sideways...

TV dinner-date, monosodium glutamate... Progress!

That's progress!
That's progress!
That's progress!
They tell you, they tell you that's progress!
If that's progress...
If that's progress...
If that's progress...
I'd rather have no gress than progress!

Follow us, we're walking sideways...
