Simpler Days 歌词

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 Simpler Days 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 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
