Wealthy men don't come 'round here anymore, in their BMWs
They took their golf clubs down the road away,
They found a place to start anew
And the neighbours complain the vacant lots are overgrown,
And a newly abandoned stepchild has been born
Now there are homeless folks out sleeping rough,
And calling it their own,
Now that all the money is gone.
Some say that's progress, but I don't know
They say that's progress, what do they know?
Some say that's progress, that's all they see
They say that's progress, but it's not to me, not to me
I'm sure they'll find a hungry, avaricious soul
To raise the funds and raze the trees and dig the holes
No doubt it'll bring the cash-flow back again
And the cars, the congestion, the pollution never ends
So be careful what you wish for, 'cause it may just come about I've seen it time and time again - it leaves me with no doubt
It's a world that's run by ruthless men, not sentimental fools
And they'll take their money back again if you try to bend the rules
Some say that's progress, but I don't know
They say that's progress, that's how it goes, how it goes
Well we moved toward the sea to be free
But all the views of waves and sand were mortgaged long ago
So we settled for suburban misery
Now we pay to park and watch the waves on public holidays
Some say that's progress, that's all they see
They say that's progress - it's not to me
Some say that's progress, but I don't know
They say that's progress, that's how it goes
Some say that's progress, that's all they see
Some say that's progress, but it's not to me, not to me

As a kid, my imagination ruled as King until "Life Got in the Way"...
Then, during the
rain and storms of the day-to-day grind, the seeds of expression gradually germinated into feelings that seemed universal; relatable. I found myself searching for an oblique angle, a different perspective and trying to find the chord that inspired three different feelings at once, with the words to match....more
