Inevitable Consequence Of Progress |
| Chopper standing in the clearing, fuelled and ready to ride |
| Captain in the doorway, telling us to step inside |
| Last minute check, all weapons set |
| Parachute and right sight |
| Going to drop in on the jungle |
| And grease some stone age tribe |
| The 'sarge jokes about taking out the last link |
| To his troubled past |
| As we hit the canopy. |
| I feel a shadow across my heart |
| Inevitable Consequence of Progress -- |
| Is what he said to me |
| Inevitable Consequence of Progress -- |
| In the judgement of history |
| Inevitable Consequence of Progress -- |
| Going to change your destiny |
| And I felt the sun, sun, sun, the Son, Son, Son |
| Going down on me |
| The pilot pulled the chopper around |
| And we got into position |
| We made all the right moves and |
| There wasn’t any real opposition |
| Crazy tribesmen shooting arrows at the 'ship overhead |
| Such a wierd spectacle |
| The 'sarge he smiled and he said |
| «There's a new world coming and |
| There ain’t no place for them-- |
| Don’t feel sad son for what history has condemned.» |
| Inevitable Consequence of Progress -- |
| Is what he said to me |
| Inevitable Consequence of Progress -- |
| In the judgement of history |
| Inevitable Consequence of Progress -- |
| Going to change your destiny |
| And I felt the sun, sun, sun, the Son, Son, Son |
| Had gone down on me |
| Bridge: |
| I’ve been waiting for the clouds to clear |
| I’ve been waiting for the dawn |
| I’ve been waiting for the fear to subside |
| And for the sun to make me warm again |
| «Live and let live» -- step into real life |
| Step into the lifeline boy |
