Inevitable Consequence Of Progress Lyrics - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

Chopper standing in the clearing, fueled 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 

Inevitable consequence of progress is what he said to me 

Inevitable consequence of progress in the judgment 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 weird 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 judgment 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 

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
