Inevitable Consequence Of Progress Lyrics - Singles - Clegg Johnny

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
