Simpler Days Lyrics

Simpler Days - 98 Mute

Growing up at a hundred miles per hour

 

Relentless pursuit of absolute power

Engines of progress full steam ahead

 

Ranting and raving while being force fed

Deafening sounds of machines humming

Fury and pace of people running

 

Endless noise of the blood pumping clock

Flash of the lights pulsating nonstop

Tear down these walls

 

Its progress we can have it all

 

Infrastructure falls its progress

 

that's what we call it

 

Traditions are erased

 

Gone without a trace

 

Take me back to simpler times

and simpler ways

 

Round and round spinning our wheels

 

Into the ground the grinding of the drills

No time for family

No time for rest

Got to work quick make the world a mess

 

Relief is nowhere to be seen

Foreclosure of the American dream

 

Domino theory takes hold

 

Our future has been bought and sold

 

Tear down these walls

 

It's progress, we can have it all

 

Infrastructure falls

 

It's progress, that's what we call it

 

Traditions are erased

 

Gone without a trace

 

Take me back to simpler times

And simpler ways

 

Biding our time

 

Our chances slip away

 

Being done in

 

By devices we create

 

Twisting Turning resources burning for our conveniency

 

Pulling Ripping out stitching

that fuses our families

 

Fighting lying we are dying harm

that cannot be undone

 

Breaking Bending here's the ending

were writing our own requiem

 

Tear down these walls

 

It's progress, we can have it all

 

Infrastructure falls

 

It's progress, that's what we call it

 

Traditions are erased

 

Gone without a trace

 

Take me back to simpler times

And simpler ways

 

Simpler ways
