The man on the TV keeps makin' strange faces There's folks flyin' rockets to far away places The world's gettin' turned on by assholes and racists And it's all for the progress of man There's a woman in Dallas who goes by Delores She bought her a beach house out in the rainforest With the money she picked up from her third deevorace All for the progress of man It's all for the better, the wind and the weather The ivory tusks and the alpaca sweaters It's all for the truth, and the big Baby Ruth And are you sure we're really all in this together There's sixty-eight tuna hangin' out in the ocean The earth doesn't spin if you don't feel the motion We pop all our pills and we knock back our potions All for the progress of man It's all for the better and the birds of a feather And the hope and the dope and the sex all together It's all for the stronger the louder and longer And the thought that we still think we can The peace in the East is comin' unraveled There's rust on the tractors, and dust in the saddle We all make big money on bitcoin and cattle And it's all for the progress of man Said it's all for the progress of man
