Lyrics

THE PRICE OF PROGRESS

I don't think the price of progress
Should be paid in mountain streams
By fish who die polluted
At the hands of industry
Or by laborers replaced With mechanical devices
Who end up feeling useless Helpless and lileless

Sometimes the price of progress Is too much to pay
Things we take for granted Will disappear someday

How can we go on
Destroying our resources
Is our destiny
Controlled by unseen forces
I don't think the price of progress
Should wash up on the beach
Or fall down from the sky
Or kill birds with disease
