Somebody told me that I always have to bow
  if that was true I would have fallen apart by now
  The more u think, the less u act their ways
  so can u hear this, the fake sound of progress
    Never reason with a fool, but is that unkind,
  looks like I lost my mind once again
  I know it all sounds so contrived, but its got to me
  u know I've got to be more than this
  don't frown, don't scorn, cus I walk a different street to u
  u look so worn, i bet that life is has got you blown
  but it will never get to mee
  somebody told me that I always have to bow
  if that was true I would have fallen apart by now
  the more u think, the less u act their ways
  so can u hear this, the fake sound of progress
  and I feel the way u hold, hold me back from this
  chances that I've missed, now their gone
  apathy is all I sense, the feelings too intense
  sitting on a fence and cant decide
  don't frown, don't scorn, cus I walk a different street to u
  u look so worn, i bet that life is has got you blown
  no body will ever get to me
  somebody told me that I always have to bow
  if that was true I would have fallen apart by now
  the more u think, the less u act their ways
  so can u hear this, the fake sound of progress
    All these words that I accounted for, never fear another day
  always charged but I need more, make me take away
  tell me now, can u hear the sound
  of all these people falling down
  growing back into the ground let me smile again...
  smile
    Tell me now can u hear the sound, of the record spinning
  round and round, for on and on it sounds like the same old
  song that I keep singing, it sounds like
    dah dah dah dah (yeahyeah sounds like) dah dah dah dah
  (all these words that I accounted for, I'll never fear another day)
    (improv!!)
    somebody told me that I always have to bow
  if that was true I would have fallen apart by now
  the more u think, the less you act their ways
  so can you hear this, the fake sound of progress
    yeah yeah yeah progress
    make me smile again
  (the fake sound of progress)
