The fake sound of progress - Lostprophets

Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more you think, the less you act their way
So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress?

Never reason with a fool, but is that unkind?
Looks like I've lost my mind once again
I know it all sounds so contrived, but it's got to me
You know I've got to be more than this

Don't frown, don't scorn, cause I walk a different street to you
You look so worn, I bet that life has got you blown
But it will never get to me

Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more you think, the less you act their ways
So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress?

And I feel the way you hold, hold me back from this
Chances that I've missed, now they're gone
Apathy is all I sense, the feeling's too intense
Sitting on a fence and can't decide

Don't frown, don't scorn, cause I walk a different street to you
You look so worn, I bet that life has got you blown
Nobody will ever get to me

Somebody told me that I always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more you think, the less you act their ways
So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress?

All these words that I accounted for, never fear another day
Always charged but I need more, make me take away
Tell me now, can you hear the sound
Of all these people falling down?
Growing back into the ground, let me smile again
Swing it

Tell me now can you hear the sound, of the record spinning
round and round, for on and on it sounds like the same old
song that I keep singing, it sounds like

All these words that I accounted for
I'll never fear another day
Always charged and I want more, make me take away
All these words that I accounted for
I'll never fear another day
It makes, me, take, away

Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more you think, the less you act their ways
So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress?

Make me smile again
Make me smile again
Make me smile again
The fake sound of progress
