[Intro] G 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] G D G D G D G D G D G D G D G D G D G
