They Say the World Make Progress
They say the world make progress
Today’s industrial developments
Cause’s rainforest destruction
If you to raise your objections
Could face murder and abductions
Every where people are dying
By the hands of wicked man
But we been warn of what to come
In the bagwan gita: the bible and holy quran
The governments says we are making progress
But I don’t think it’s true
Maybe I’m too sensitive
It’s why I’m asking you
Oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico
Hundreds of species are no more
Coalitions amass in Iraq
Base on lies to start a war
Some animals close to extinct
So the rich can wear minks on their backs
Then tell us how much they care
Taking us for a bunch of jacks
They say the world make progress
And the future looks so bright
But all I see darkness
Tell me if you see the light
A jumper standing on the ledge
The bank about to take his home
But when the banks steal our money
The government gives them a loan
Terrorist on the airlines
Coal miners trap underground
Children going to sleep hungry
Whitney Houston will no longer sing a song
Ozone causing global warming
Ice caps melting away for sure
India and Pakistan fighting for Kashmir
When they were one country before
The hopeless people of Palestine
That whole world ignore
Living in captivity
When it was their land before
Still they say its progress
But I don’t believe their lies
Tell if you see it
Maybe something wrong with my eyes
