(utopia):
world without warcraft, hunger, pollution
a positive forecast, the perfect solution:
yeah sure utopia's a dream we all seek
but 'utopia' really means 'nowhere' in Greek
Shangri-La and Xanadu
Garden of Eden, Walden Two
laid back lambs lyin' with lions
no one starving fighting or crying
like it would be dope yeah
to live in utopia
that place in your head
where you'll get to you hope yeah
peace love and light
everything is alright
huh!
peace love and light
yeah sure dude yeah right
--
(dystopia):
black markets, black clothes, black faces, black souls
don't even ask why that dark bell tolls, for we it rolls on like seas
degraded and slated for doom and disaster
fascist dictators, our ass on a platter
1984, Blade Runner, Mad Max, Logan's Run
Brave New World, Clockwork Orange, Fahrenheit 451
Children of Men, Idiocracy, Soylent Green
sick shit on the screen slick dystopian scene
oppressive, disturbin'
perturbingly urban
dying bees, chainsawed trees
plastic trash clogs the seas
no one seems to care or
even right the smallest error
just succumb to random terror
fuck it we're helpless so don't even try
just grab all the pie you can buy and then die
--
what a weird myopia
to only see two topias
like can't there be-say, maybe--three?
just one more where we're free.to be?
--
(truetopia):
so let's wash the sleep dust from our eyes
stop spittin' pretty alibis
look not to the pits not to the skies
with real eyes realize lies
recognize wise allies
arise to the find the right size
burn the costumes pitch the masks
turn and return to earthbound tasks
forge new ways not up not down
not out not away
but over, around
play our way through our days
slay the sly invasive haze
believe freely see clearly see deeply into
a new way through true to you and your crew
can't say when but let's collaborate sometime if you want.
