LYRIC: Progressing Ever Backwards

Screaming-don't you hear it?

Screaming-I can hear it

Begging for sustainability

Climate-going crazy

Wildlife-dying daily

Death-throes of a raped and pillaged world

Green turns to concrete

Clear a wood erect a street

Hear me scream

Profit-before survival

Defeat-business rivals

Anything OK to get on top

Chokin-on their cost-cuts

Burning-from corners cut

Commodifying the environment

Progressing ourselves

Out of a future

Hear me scream

This is the 21st century

Exploited so the richest can achieve

We're so advanced, we've got so much money

We're just lacking everything we need

Progress-supposed to take us 

Forward-I only see us

Racing backwards to our destruction

Once we've -exploited all that

Earth has-on it to give us

Priced it up and put it up for sale

I have just one question for you

Where are you planning to live?

Hear me scream
