Profit over Progress Lyrics by I Have No Eyes

Worse Things Have Happened to Better People

2019

It's a profit over progress

Go, reap the mask of
The ones who set the plan
We can't afford to live
Choking on oiled-land

Oh
They suppress the
Men who've tried to rise
To innovate and bring new hope to our hopeless lives

We can't afford to live like this
(Breathing the air that they breathe)
Look out for yourself and deny your fellow man

Do you feel free blinded by paper
(You’re blinded by paper)

Well you're not fucking free
No you're not
Free

You formulate it to be
A profit over progress
But that's not what you call it
A profit’s all you see
No focus on potential
As long as you feel
The money underneath your feet
You ignore the fucking issues

Oh
You formulate it to be
A profit over progress
(You ignore all the issues)

But you're the fucking issue!
