about

"Utopia (Album Version)" is a haunting track facetiously written from the perspective of a "true believer". While it is a no-holds-barred condemnation of belief in "utopias" of all types, it nevertheless bemoans the fact that such paradigms fail to come to fruition. The reference to "Album Version" is that other versions may appear at a later date.

lyrics

Utopia

Where are you?

No matter where I look

You’re there in my book


Utopia

Always just out of reach

But in your righteous name

I will forever sing and preach


Enforced outcomes of equality

With not so much, liberty

Bureaucratic, bureaucratic conformity

That’s the best, don’t you see?


Utopia

We’ve got the means

This time we’ll get it right

If we just keep the end in sight


Utopia

Where are you?

No matter were I look

You’re there in my book


All the true believers

All the past deceivers

All the wealth receivers

All the dead

All the true believers

All the past deceivers

All the wealth receivers

All the dead

All the dead


Utopia

Just out of reach

But in your righteous name

I will forever sing and preach


Enforced outcomes of equality

With not so much, liberty

Bureaucratic, bureaucratic conformity

That’s the best, don’t you see?

Utopia
