Song #145: Progress- Pedro the Lion
From the album Control, released April 16, 2002
"Here we have our dust free dining set/ we guarantee it won't collect a speck/ freeing up the children to instead/ grow into your molding/ heed more of your scolding/ go early to their new self-making beds/ it seems like you'd be tired of losing face/ like you want to put the children in their place/ the more you have to tell them/ to do their chores/ the more you run the risk of being ignored/ if you're lucky they'll turn out as good as you/ you tell them that they're good kids/ but you know that it's not true/ your father drank a little/ you're on liver number two/ progress has a a way of feigning ease/ convenient new inventions bait the tease/ for though it is impossible to cure/ a husband bent on cheating/ the oxygen depleting/ a child who's always bragging/ a wife's persistent nagging/ we're equipping to live as though it were"
