about

“We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man. There is nothing progressive about being pig-headed and refusing to admit a mistake. And I think if you look at the present state of the world it's pretty plain that humanity has been making some big mistake. We're on the wrong road. And if that is so we must go back. Going back is the quickest way on.”

--- C.S. Lewis

lyrics

It's not a case of two wrongs to make it right
It's time for a complete turnaround
Oh if you only had a clue

You don't want to be rescued by a saviour
YOU'RE NOT HEADING FOR GLORY, YOUR HEADING FOR HELL
You want to be rescued by yourself
YOU'RE NOT HEADING FOR GLORY, YOUR HEADING FOR HELL

The first one to figure out that he was wrong
And turns around on the road that leads to his demise
Is by far the most progressive one
His decision will lead up to his rise

The Illusion of control did not grow overnight
Did you think it through?
Do you have a clue?
Do you think you know better?

You don't want to be rescued by a saviour
YOU'RE NOT HEADING FOR GLORY, YOUR HEADING FOR HELL
You want to be rescued by yourself
YOU'RE NOT HEADING FOR GLORY, YOUR HEADING FOR HELL

The first one to figure out that he was wrong
And turns around on the road that leads to his demise
Is by far the most progressive one
His decision will lead up to his rise
