Figurine of Progress

Here comes the figurine
Of progress from the left
And on the right the unforeseen wall
We missed the roaring twenties
Overwhelming the other arm
Overwhelming the other arm

When the ladder breaks
With the weight of their promises
And the banners are finally taken down
Who will represent their district
Without hindsight now

This is silver I happened to find
And melt down with a peace of mind
You can have it if you found no value here

We will climb up through the window
With a window to spare

Here is a cake with a face drawn in icing
Given on behalf of a friend
Who will represent their district
With more foresight now
We missed the roaring twenties
Overwhelming the other arm
Overwhelming the other arm
Here comes the wrecking ball with eyes
For the second time and I understand
How to steer and stand clear
