Utopia Now - On a Sinking Ship

Here I contemplate
And wish that I could state
That I was free of doubt
But there’s always been that vague idea
Of something to worry about
“It’ll work out somehow.”
That’s what other people say
But look at us now;
Is there a single careless day?

There are obvious conclusions
That are long time overdue
But avoided by sad motives
And a deadly attitude
I guess what we need
Is a change of social paradigms
But right now there’s greed
Ignorance and crimes

Chorus:
Everyone’s laughing and drinking
Blind to the fact that we’re sinking

Far from the docks
The crew fights over who is in command
The cradle that rocks
Is a coffin in the end, because...

Chorus:
Everyone’s laughing and drinking
Blind to the fact that we’re sinking

On a one-way trip
On a sinking ship...
