Growing up at a hundred miles per hour
  Relentless pursuit of absolute power
  Engines of progress full steam ahead
  Ranting and raving while being force fed
    Deafening sounds of machines humming
  Fury and pace of people running
  Endless noise of the blood pumping clock
  Flash of the lights pulsating nonstop
    Tear down these walls Its progress we can have it all
  Infrastructure falls Its progress that's what we call it
  Traditions are erased Gone without a trace
  Take me back to simpler times and simpler ways
  Simpler Days
    Round and round spinning our wheels
  Into the ground the grinding of the drills
  No time for family No time for rest
  Got to work quick make the world a mess
    Relief is nowhere to be seen
  Foreclosure of the American dream
  Domino theory takes hold
  Our future has been bought and sold
    Biding our time
  Our chances slip away
  Being done in
  By devices we create
    Twisting-Turning resources burning for our conveniency
  Pulling-Ripping out stitching that fuses our families
  Fighting-lying we are dying harm that cannot be undone
  Breaking-Bending here's the ending were writing our own requiem
