I’m not socially committed
I don’t know what to believe
All the people we’ve elected
Have sewn pockets in their sleeves
And the food that we’ve infected
With preservatives and greed
And the cities we’ve erected
Not designed to let you breathe
Well so this is the price of progress
Have we come so very far
From the days of horse and buggy
To the days of jets and cars?
In our war with mother nature
Every battle has been won
We’ve flown to the moon
And clouded up the sun
And we’ve just begun
I do not know the answers
‘Cause the questions are not clear
And my eyes can see no longer
And my ears can barely hear
And my heartbeat’s growing fainter
With the passing of each year
And I cannot help but wonder
Where do we go from here?
I cannot hear
I cannot feel
I cannot see
Breathe free
So this is the price of progress
Have we come so very far
From the days of horse and buggy
To the days of jets and cars?
And though everything of value
Must then surely have a cost
I cannot help but wonder
Have we won
More than we’ve lost?
