Slow Motion RiotSimpler Days lyrics by 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 the people running
Endless noise of the blood pumping clock
Flash of the lights pulsating nonstop
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
'Round and 'round, just 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 convenience
Pulling, ripping out stitching
That fuses our families
Fighting, lying, we are dying
Harm that cannot be undone
Breaking, bending, here's the ending
We're 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 days
