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
|
|
Chorus:
|
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
|
