SINGER: Lost Prophets

SONG:The Fake Sound Of Progress

Somebody told me that i always have to bail,
if that was true i would have fallen apart by now,
the more you think, the less you hand away,
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 it's got to me,
you know i've got to be more than this
[pre-chorus]
don't frown, don't scorn, 'cuz i walk a different street to you,
you look so worn, i bet that life has got you blown,
but it will never get to me...
[chorus]
somebody told me that i always have to bail,
if that was true i would have fallen apart by now,
the more you think, the less you act their ways,
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
[pre-chorus]
[chorus]
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 you hear the sound
of all these people fallin' down,
crawling back into the ground, make me smile again...
Cross wire
silly cat can you hear the sound, of records spinning round and round
but on and on it seems like the same old song that i keep singin'
(it sounds like...)
dah dah dah dah dah dah-dah dah dah,
(it sounds like...)
dah dah dah dah dah dah-dah dah dah,
(it sounds like this...)
all these words that i accounted for, never fear another day
always charged but i want more, make me take away...
all these words that i accounted for...
i'll never fear another day
makes... me... take... away!
[chorus] (with back voice improvs)
Make me smile again... (the fake sound of progress)
make me smile again... (the fake sound of progress)
