The Problem With Progress

While we eat our cake
What's in it clouds our fate
When what's for breakfast
Doubts dessert's mistakes

While we eat our cake
And laugh about the past
Like fools we do not ask
Until it's far too late

The problem with progress is
When strings are pulled and puppets dance like this
There's very little chance
The master cares to glance
At what's in it for the puppet class --
That's you…
And me (Unfortunately…)

While we eat our cake
Growing fatter by the day
Having it and eating too
Ignoring all the work to do

The problem with progress is
When strings are pulled and puppets dance like this
There's very little chance
The master cares to glance
At what's in it for the puppet class --
That's you…
And me (Unfortunately…)

The problem with progress
Is its outcome is manifest
Through the flyover leftovers
It forgets

While we eat our cake
What's in it clouds our fate
When what's for breakfast
Doubts dessert's mistakes

The problem with progress is
When strings are pulled and puppets dance like this
There's very little chance
The master cares to glance
At what's in it for the puppet class --
That's you…
And me (Unfortunately…)
