This Is Not Utopia |
| Like a shot without a warning |
| Lies a life that's left behind |
| And though I try, it's something I just can't unsee |
| It's burned into my mind |
| And I wake up in the morning |
| News keeps flashing on my eyes |
| These dying streets are bruised and beaten |
| And riot flags are waving |
| Poor and weak, we extend this streak |
| These lives we could be saving |
| Life is cheap, I sit and weep |
| 'Cause there's just no mistaking |
| Oh, this is not Utopia |
| The roots of America |
| Are the roots of hysteria |
| The rules don't matter anymore |
| This is not utopia |
| The roots of America |
| Are the roots of hysteria |
| And you don't matter anymore |
| The better angels of our nature |
| Well, they've gone away to hide |
| Brutality I can't unsee |
| These pictures are just burned into my mind |
| It's commotion in slow motion |
| It's humanity denied |
| A violent race, punch in the face |
| With all this hate how can we all survive? |
| And if a change is coming |
| What makes it take so long? |
| And if a change is coming |
| Why sing the same old song? |
| This is not Utopia |
| The roots of America |
| Are the roots of hysteria |
| The rules don't matter anymore |
| This is not utopia |
| The roots of America |
| The roots of hysteria |
| And you don't matter anymore |
| This is not Utopia |
| The roots of America |
| Are the roots of hysteria |
| And you don't matter anymore |
| This is not utopia |
| So how long must we wait? |
| Until love conquers hate? |
| And heal these hearts |
| 'Cause it all starts right here |
