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...



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 its got to me

you know I've got to be more than this



[PRE-CHORUS]

don't frown, don't scorn, 'cuz I walk a different street to you

you look so worn, i bet that life is has got you blown

but it will never get to me



[CHORUS]

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



And I feel the way you hold, hold me back from this

chances that I've missed, now their gone

apathy is all I sense, the feeling's too intense

sitting on a fence, can't decide



[PRE-CHORUS]



[CHORUS]



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

crawling back into the ground, make me smile again...



AHH SWING IT



dah dah dah dah

(it sounds like...)

dah dah dah dah

(it sounds like this...)

All these words that I accounted for, never fear another day

always charged but I need more, make me take away...

All these words that I accounted for...

I'll never fear another day

Makes me take away!



[CHORUS] (With back voice improvs)



Make me smile again... (the fake sound of progress)

Make me smile again... (the fake sound of progress
