Текст песни The Fake Sound of Progress - Lostprophets

Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more you think, the less you act their way
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

Don't frown, don't scorn, 'cause 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

Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more you think, the less you act their way
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

Don't frown, don't scorn, 'cause 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

Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more you think, the less you act their way
So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress?

All these words that I can't afford
Never feel another day
All these thoughts and I need more
Make me takeaway
Tell me now, can you hear the sound
Of all these people falling down?
Growing back into the ground
Make me smile again
Argh, swing it!

(It sounds like) Da da-da, da da da da-da
Da-da da da, da da da da-da (it sounds like)
Da da-da, da da da da-da (it sounds like this)

All these words that I can't afford
Never feel another day
All these thoughts and I want more
Make me takeaway
All these words that I can't afford
I'll never feel another day
Make me takeaway

Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more you think, the less you act their way
So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress?

Make me smile again (the fake sound of progress)
Make me smile again, yeah (the fake sound of progress)
Make me smile again (the fake sound)
Of progress
