[Intro]

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