"Though it's the opening track, You Can't Stop Progress is one of the last songs we wrote for Beale Street. It is sort of a
preface to the next track, Power Player. We happened to perform it one night before Power Player, and it became apparent that the two were
joined at the hip. We first heard the Bad Brains 20 years ago and in this tune it's obvious that they're still influencing
us."
Yes, Ill be a responsible member
of this great and blessd society.
Ive come to understand the wrongful nature
of gun
ownership in the age of monarchy.
But sometimes its just so hard
to act like the person you werent born to be.
Felonious
behavior. Countless misdemeanors.
Impersonating an officer of the law.
Bonafide man of action! How you like that?
Bonafide man of
action! How you like that?
You cant stop, you cant stop progress.
You cants stop, you cant stop, no, no, no
You cant stop, you
cant stop progress.
You cants stop, you cant stop, no, no, no.
I understand theres no victimless crimes.
That being said I feel
rather victimized.
And I will seek substantial compensation.
Whether legally, legal-ish, or otherwise.
But sometimes its such a
hassle
to sit patiently outside the open gates of a loaded castle.
Felonious behavior. Countless misdemeanors.
Impersonating an
officer of the law.
Bonafide man of action! How you like that?
Bonafide man of action! How you like that?
You cant stop, you cant

You cants stop, you cant stop, no, no, no
You cant stop, you cant stop progress.
You cants stop, you cant stop,
no, no, no.
