Текст песни Victims of Progress (Fog Of War) с переводом

Moving like the gears of a patchwork clock

Trapped in the links of the chain

Mending the holes with more rolls of red tape

A familiar madness that seems all too sane

We’re building our prison brick by brick

We’re padding the walls of our cell — We will find

We’re unwitting servants to a shadowy master

Who’s ruling over working class hell

Every day, hour, second of your life is observed, recorded and filed away

Step out of line, you’ll do the time, dreams of tomorrow are ending today

Censorship stunts the mind’s creative growth

The age of freedom of speech and expression has ended

People are afraid to stand by their opinion

Because it’s guaranteed that somebody will get offended

Victims of progress — Enslaved by our own hand

Victims of progress — Slaves 'til the end

Victims of progress — In prison world wide

Victims of progress — Is this freedom? You decide

Slaving away for paper that we’ll never get back

Watch the American dream begin to crumble and crack

Helpless against the few, the many fight amongst their own

Things could have been different if only we had known

Victims of progress — Enslaved by our own hand

Victims of progress — Slaves 'til the end

Victims of progress — In prison world wide

Victims of progress — Is this freedom? You decide

We’re victims of progress, enslaved by our own hand

We cannot live without the things that devastate our land

The oil in the ocean, the acid in the rain

The base for all of life is tainted and we’re the only ones to blame

Contaminated soil, roots that will not grow

Oxygen depletes, our survival chance is low

The hole that’s in the sky and the assault of UV rays

Will burn us all alive for our linear, «progressive» ways

We need to start things over, we need to start asking why

But for a new beginning

We must die

Victims of progress — Enslaved by our own hand

Victims of progress — Slaves 'til the end

Victims of progress — In prison world wide

Victims of progress — Is this freedom? You decide

Victims of progress (x5)
