UTOPIA

 

 

Verse 1

 

When I’m breathing, I subscribe to you.

My eyesight has gone pay per view.

I’ve meters clicking in my head.

I’ve paid for every word I’ve said.

 

Verse 2

​

I pay a fare to walk around

and get a ticket if the sound

of rheumatism is too loud.

How has this progress been allowed?

 

Chorus

​

But this is utopia.

This is what they say.

I don’t remember it

another way.

 

Verse 3

​

I’m invoiced just for sitting down

and smiling costs more than to frown.

My memories are sold on-line.

My pain is taxed, so too my cries.

 

Verse 4

​

Our apathy throughout the years

has meant they license all our tears.

Happiness all seems a blur.

How have we let this all occur?

​

Chorus

​

But this is utopia.

This is what they say.

I don’t remember it

another way.

(another way)

 

Yes, this is utopia.

This is what we’re told.

We are too tired now

to be brave and bold

(to be brave and bold)

​

“Everything we ever do

Is only ever done for you.

Everything we ever do

Is only ever done for you.”

 

Chorus

​

This is utopia.

This is what we’re told.

We are too tired now

to be brave and bold

(to be brave and bold.)
