Progress? Lyrics - Amebix

Progress? That's just regression 

Technology? That's nothing new 

"Advance!" you scream insanely 

"Advance"? From this to what? 

[Chorus:] 

And every time you smile I smell decay, killer! 

Your empty eyes stare, cold and grey, look at that face! 

Machinery (master?), we're all expendable 

It's just so obvious, it's more dependable 

This progress will mean a number 

Branded to your skin 

They lead you to your slaughter 

Like they lead a horse to water 

They can't force you to drink 

But you do!
