[Verse] The sky blackened by the smoke Choking every breath I take River runs with poison now Earth cries out in deep ache [Chorus] Is this progress they proclaim All I see is nature's shame Factories keep roaring loud Watching death in a dark shroud [Verse 2] Birds don't sing a song today Their wings heavy with grey despair Trees once green now stand dead What’s the price for clean air [Chorus] Is this progress they proclaim All I see is nature's shame Factories keep roaring loud Watching death in a dark shroud [Bridge] No escape from all this mess Fighters silence bought and press Children born into decay Turn your head but there's no way [Verse 3] Hope's a word we used to know In this wasteland we now sow Lights are fading from our sight Streets turned dark we lose the fight
