  • I have seen what you call progress
    Every warning sign ignored
    And there's a muffled voice of reason
    But we can't make out the words
    And though the balance we struck was delicate
    There was a sense of right and wrong
    We tried to stem this flow with a tourniquet
    But now the patient's dead and gone
    When we owe more than we're worth
    And they're changing the locks on the doors
    We raised glasses high to the bottom line
    On a street engulfed in flames, yeah
    But on goes the show

    When the city streets are barricaded
    A chaos we ourselves created
    When there's nothing left
    Tell me, where will you go?
    When the factories are automated
    Broken dreams incorporated
    Gather your things
    But there's nowhere to go

    We are children of lesser gods
    Better angels, darker days
    But we're holding on to this cause
    Like palm trees in a hurricane
    We chase every second
    In clothes that we slept in
    But they still got away

    When the city streets are barricaded
    A chaos we ourselves created
    When there's nothing left
    Tell me, where will you go?
    When the factories are automated
    Broken dreams incorporated
    Gather your things
    But there's nowhere to go?

    Nowhere to go

    Was this place ever our home?
    Were these lines ever our own?
    Are we just reading from the pages? Yeah
    Just putting on a show?
    Are you along just for the ride?
    Keep all hands and feet inside
    Will you steer us all to safety
    So at least they know you tried?

    (Broken dreams, incorporated)

    Broken dreams
    Broken dreams, incorporated
    Broken dreams
    Broken dreams, incorporated

    No longer asking, we are taking (broken dreams)
    (Broken dreams, incorporated)
    And tomorrow will be what we make it (broken dreams)
