lyrics

progress
an old town by the sea
wasn't hard to reach
run by the National Trust
so leave that battleaxe out to rust
it's over now.

free from
all misogyny
well i'd have to be
my mother wore the pants
but now i'm tired of all these demands
so quiet down

this town is where i'll come when i shit myself
where i can trade in my compassion for common sense
and i can vote against my grandchildren's interests
and life moves in slow motion
no kids on bikes
and there's a view of the ocean

comfort
come and smother me
like a pillow
until the heart gives out
until pure confidence trumps all doubt
and the shame wears off

cus i'm okay
if i just shout it out
i'm an asshole waiting to happen
the end of history can begin
and i can retire

this town is where i'll come when i shit myself
where i can trade in my compassion for common sense
and i can vote against my grandchildren's interests
and life moves in slow motion
no kids on bikes
and where's that view of the ocean?
cus this took me a long, long time
no kids on bikes
i'm just a drop in the ocean

i don't want to talk about it
i don't need to talk about it
the last pillar of this fort was never to talk about it
