UTOPIA (4/2/04)



Chilling on a park bench with Perfection
Is a fella by the name of Okay
Satisfaction waits and smiles on the sidewalk
Since Misery departed yesterday

The sun begins to set on the horizon
Perfection packs his bags up for the night
Darkness makes his way up to the park bench
And suddenly Okay is not alright

It’s a Utopian thought in a Utopian mind
In a god damn Utopian town
But Utopia shows that
Utopia knows
Utopia’s not how it sounds

The next morning Confusion comes to visit
Satisfaction does not pass by and wave
Loneliness has spread out on the park bench
While Optimism slowly digs his grave

Motivation staples fliers to the trees
For Happiness has gone away somewhere
Pessimism says there is no use in searching
And Apathy just doesn’t really care

It’s a Utopian thought in a Utopian mind
In a god damn Utopian town
But Utopia shows that
Utopia knows
Utopia’s not how it sounds

And isn’t it a nice day to sit in the park watching everything turning dark
And isn’t it a great day to sit in the park watching everyone turning dark

It’s a Utopian thought in a Utopian mind
In a god damn Utopian town
But Utopia shows that
Utopia knows
Utopia’s not how it sounds

Emptiness has now consumed the park bench
A view that No One sees, where No One does
And Wisdom shakes his head at Expectation
For he knows that Perfection never was

It’s a Utopian thought in a Utopian mind
In a god damn Utopian town
But Utopia shows that
Utopia knows
Utopia’s not how it sounds

Utopia’s not like it sounds.
