John Stewart
Hopeless Utopia
Rare road tracks and hearts of sorrow
Search-light beams in the neon sky
Straight-edge razors and a long-stem roses
Blue-eyed girls and the Roosevelt Grimes
White man's churches wearing blenders
Refrigerator magnets faking smiles
Movie star shoes and ice cream glass
Talking clocks and slaves in style
[Chorus]
We're living in a hopeless utopia
Living in a hopeless utopia
We're living in a hopeless utopia
Hopеless utopia
Football jerseys and four mic-a-dinеrs
Lucille Ball and tennis shoes
Bright young midgets in the silver lines
Forever ambered baby blues
Perfect dreams and cover answers
Jukebox baby dreams of Dan
Permanent waves and red bandanas
Diamond rings on a tattooed hand
[Chorus]
We're living in a hopeless utopia
We're living in a hopeless utopia
Living in a hopeless utopia
Hopeless utopia...
Mothers rocking plastic babies
Speaking dogs and silent screams
There is magic in the lesser children
There is wisdom in the mad man's dreams
Soda fountains with the smell of jazz
Daddy Grey bullet cowboy jeans
Ressurection in the face of failure
Protection for the fallen queen
[Chorus]
We're living in a hopeless utopia
We're living in a hopeless utopia
Living in a hopeless utopia
Hopeless utopia...
The virgins in the wake of ashes
Darker angels are abound
AA-guys in asset flashes
Camels back some scrolls of doubt
TV wars and right Nintendo's
White bread smiles telling lies
Godless schools and skilled crescendos
The fall from grace was no surprise
Salvation lives in our own eyes
[Chorus]
For we're living in a hopeless utopia
We're living in a hopeless utopia
Living in a hopeless utopia
Hopeless utopia...
Hopeless utopia...
A hopeless utopia...
A hopeless utopia...
