[Verse I:]
Industrious men
And dilligent women
With unemotional hearts
Where work equals time
In the name of progress
The future pushes and pulls them apart

[Chorus:]
Don't ask me for utopia
Don't ask me for perfection
Don't ask me for a deadly kiss
Don't ask me for metropolis

[Strophe II:]
Created in the image
Of humankind
Our differences are what make us whole
Inhabit a world
Where "we" is better than "I"
If yes means "we", then we say no!
Don't ask me for paradise
Don't ask me for heaven
Don't ask me for a deadly kiss
Don't ask me for metropolis
[Chorus]
