Progress

We need more things.

OK, no prob

Let's build this bot

Let's turn this knob

A rush of industrialism my friend!

We'll make things faster

We'll progress, in the end

We need more hands

OK, no sweat

Let the labor force study

Let them wallow in debt

A surge of willing workers abound my friend!

We'll make things smarter

We'll progress, in the end

We need more power

OK, on it

Let's mine this field

Let's frack this $!@#

A bedrock of tappable energy my friend!

We'll make things harder

We'll progress, in the end

We need more supply

OK, right on

Let's drain this lake

Let's chop the Amazon

A motherlode of natural materials my friend!

We'll make things cheaper

We'll progress, in the end

We need more time

Uh-oh, too late

There's no more earth

To resuscitate

A graveyard of plastics await us my friend!

We'll make too many things

To progress, in the end
