lirik lagu ben bagley - progress

[ensemble]
one time this was a very quiet planet
the reason was n0body was around
but then one day, jehovah, who began it
got bored and clamped a couple on the ground
and right away when man and woman came here
they took a peek and nature took its course
he said

[man]
i love you

[ensemble]
and she answered

[woman]
same here

[ensemble]
and love became the greatest human force

and from then and through the ages
it was love, love, love!
from the peasant to the sages
it was love, love, love!
man and woman soon discover
when they set out to explore
[women]
all the world loves a lover

[man]
but a lover loves it more

[ensemble]
everybody was devoted to it:
love, love, love!

[woman]
until they all were bloated with it:

[ensemble]
love, love, love, love, love!

[men]
for suddenly the mind of man was changing
he started moving on in greater haste
and perspective took a drastic rearranging
for love and home had finally been misplaced

[women]
they discovered something better than affection

[men]
far more rugged that a hug could ever be
[women]
and they started in a happier direction

[ensemble]
leaving love beneath the good old apple tree

[woman]
what is this thing that’s better than spring?

[man]
what thing is this that’s better than a kiss?

[woman & man]
what is the “x” that’s bigger than s~x?

[ensemble]
what could it be? what could it be? what could it be?

[woman & man]
it’s progress
where every man can be a king
why, next to progress
love’s a juvenile thing
yes, with progress
your chance to hit the top is great
one year you may need a loan
and the following year you own new york state
[man]
yes, it’s progress

[woman]
now that’s the life for you

[man]
where you can make a pile a day

[woman]
oh, it’s incred’ what you can do

[man]
why, next to progress

[woman]
you don’t need brains at all

[man]
love’s as dull as croquet

[woman]
just a h~lluva lot of gall

[man]
yes, with progress

[woman]
a tom, or d~ck, or hank

[man]
why, there’s a world to make and hold

[woman]
might any day buy up a bank

[woman & man]
you start a clerk underneath
and the following year your t~~th are all gold

[woman]
one day the prices begin to soar

[man]
you made a living, now you need more

[woman]
you’re getting frantic

[man]
you’re running short

[woman]
you have a family

[man]
you must support

[woman & man]
and when you think it’ll never stop
there is a sudden awful drop

[ensemble]
it’s a panic!
it’s a recession!
it’s a depression!

[ensemble, spoken]
it’s a crash!

[woman & man]
it’s progress
the greatest thing there’ll ever be
why, next to progress
love’s a cup of warm tea
yes, it’s progress
where any cluck can make a buck
you buy a few shares of stock
and the following day—

[woman]
the markets crumble!
the prices crack!

[man]
and down you tumble
upon your back!

[woman]
you’re overextended

[man]
you have no slack!

[woman]
it can’t be mended

[man]
you can’t turn back!

[woman & man]
and you are out in a growing mob
without a dime, without a job

[ensemble]
it’s a panic!
it’s a recession!
it’s a depression!
it’s a crash!

[woman & man]
it’s progress
where every man can own the skies
to win with progress
just industrialize

[ensemble]
yes, it’s progress
the only way to happiness
no greater love could there be
than for p~r~o~g~r~e~double~s!
