Servants of Progress Lyrics
Bred for the wheel…
Running like a dog, far too long, waiting for a chance to ‘be’
Learning your lessons with pride, then fall into line
Your class inclination is to work, consume, and breed
You bury your dead where you eat, but never forget- this world is finite
Work another day, punch that clock, watching your life pass by
Sucking all flesh from the bone, your fruit all but rotten
A specter comes haunting again as Babylon sleeps
Your enemies once were your friends, your lovers, your life…dead.
You are your own destroyer…
Hang the masters from the highest tree and let their dead eyes stare back at their children
Is this how we want to live…?
Running like a dog, far too long, waiting for a chance to ‘be’
Learning your lessons with pride, then fall into line
Your class inclination is to work, consume, and breed
You bury your dead where you eat, but never forget- this world is finite
Work another day, punch that clock, watching your life pass by
Sucking all flesh from the bone, your fruit all but rotten
A specter comes haunting again as Babylon sleeps
Your enemies once were your friends, your lovers, your life…dead.
Hang the masters from the highest tree and let their dead eyes stare back at their children

alright.. misery index is absolutely kickass. this album, "retaliate", was probably my favorite metal album of 2003. Every single song on it is insanely good and heavy. jason netherton is my fucking hero. this song, obviously, is about the working class. regular people are brought up and raised just to work. the work they do consumes them and takes over their lives until they have absolutely nothing left... and then they die.
