Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
  If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
  The more you think, the less you act their way
  So can you hear this? The fake sound of progress
  
  Never reason with a fool
  But is that unkind?
  Looks like i've lost my mind, once again
  I know it all sounds so contrived
  But its got to me, you know I've got to be more than this
  
  Don't fret, don't scorn, cos I walk a different street to you
  You look so worn, I bet that life has got you broke
  But it will never get to me
  
  Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
  If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
  The more you think, the less you act their way
  So can you hear this? The fake sound of progress
  
  And I feel the way you hold, hold me back from this
  Chances that i've missed now they're gone
  Apathy is all I sense, the feeling's too intense
  Sitting on the fence, can't decide
  
  Don't fret, don't scorn, cos I walk a different street to you
  You look so worn, I bet that life has got you broke
  But it will never get to me

  So can you hear this? The fake sound of progress
  
  All these words and I count to four
  Never feel another day
  All these times and I need more
  Make me take away
  Tell me now, can you hear the sound?
  Of all these people falling down
  Who went back into the ground
  Make me smile again
  RAAAAAAAAAAAA SWING IT!!!
  
  It sounds like dada..yeah it sounds like this
  
  All these words and I count to four
  Never feel another day
  All these times and I want more
  Make me take away
  All these words and I count to four I'll never feel another day
  It makes me take away
  
  Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
  If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
  The more you think, the less you act their way
  So can you hear this? The fake sound of progress
  
  You make me smile again (the fake sound of progress)
  You make me smile again (the fake sound of progress)
  You make me smile again (the fake sound of progress)
