Chopper standing in the clearing, fuelled and ready to ride  Captain in the doorway, telling us to step inside  last minute check, all weapons set  parachute and right sight  going to drop in on the jungle  and grease some stone age tribe  The 'sarge jokes about taking out the last link  to his troubled past  as we hit the canopy. I feel a shadow across my heart  Chorus:  Inevitable Consequence of Progress --  is what he said to me  inevitable Consequence of Progress --  in the judgement of history  inevitable Consequence of Progress --  going to change your destiny  And I felt the sun, sun, sun, the Son, Son, Son  going down on me  The pilot pulled the chopper around  and we got into position  we made all the right moves and  there wasn't any real opposition  Crazy tribesmen shooting arrows at the 'ship overhead  Such a wierd spectacle  the 'sarge he smiled and he said  "There's a new world coming and  there ain't no place for them--  Don't feel sad son for what history has condemned."  Inevitable Consequence of Progress --  is what he said to me  inevitable Consequence of Progress --  in the judgement of history  inevitable Consequence of Progress --  going to change your destiny  And I felt the sun, sun, sun, the Son, Son, Son  had gone down on me  Bridge:  I've been waiting for the clouds to clear  I've been waiting for the dawn  I've been waiting for the fear to subside  and for the sun to make me warm again  "Live and let live" -- step into real life,  step into the lifeline boy
