The Fake Sound Of Progress Lyrics
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 that way
so can u 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
u know I've got to be more than this
don't fret, don't scorn, cuz I walk a different street to u
u look so worn, i bet that life is has got you blown
but it will never 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 that way
so can u hear this, the fake sound of progress
and I feel the way u hold, hold me back from this
chances that I've missed, now their gone
apathy is all I sense, the feelings too intense
sitting on a fence and cant decide
don't fret, don't scorn, cuz I walk a different street to u
u look so worn, i bet that life is has got you blown
no body 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 that way
so can u 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 u hear the sound
of all these people falling down
growing back into the ground let me smile again...
smile
Tell me now can u 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
dah dah dah dah (yeah yeah sounds like) dah dah dah dah
(all these words that I accounted for, I'll never fear another day)
(improv!!)

This song kicks so much ass. I wish i could see them live with System of a Down.
Its aobut tiem somebody posted some lost prophets lyrics
no shit...this band is tite...
I fuckin love the Lost Prophets, they gotta be the best new band out there! and this song kicks so much ass!! i wish i coulda seen them with pressure 4-5!!!! lost prophets rock!
i had like every lostprophets lyric posted under lostprohets then they deleted it. this sucks. it had all the b-sides and demos too.
Yeah i remember you did a lot of work jordan, had em all pretty accurate too. Good job man. Dont know where you found it all.
Also im a little bit unsure on some of these lyrics after looking at them. I mean im not sure this could be the radio version and i know thats drastically different from the cd version. Ive only heard the radio version once, so for all i know it could be right but im just throwin that out there.
Lost Prophets isn't a new band, but your right they are the best band and they do kick so much ass slipknotchic4ever.
This song is defintely one of my favourite Lostprophets songs. They're one of my favourite bands. I'd love to see them live, but yeah...like that'll ever happen.
Yeah the album version of this is a lot longer than the radio edit but I'm pretty sure these lyrics are right. Well billabong, they're doing a tour in October so you wanna look into it if you wanna see them that badly, saw them at the Ozzfest and they were great.
One small correction to whomever posted these.... Right after he says "smile again..." he doesn't scream "smile", he screams "swing dat", talking to the guitarist who does his bridge there.... I think.
