Kimya Dawson - Utopian Futures Lyrics
Somewhere the bombing all has stoppedAnd people begin to sit and talkAnd somewhere insomniatic stockbrokers can rest their bloodshot eyesCuz there's nothing left to buy or sellOr kill or die for anymoreWe're living inside eternal moments that we've searched all our livesThere's nobody living by the clockAnd every door is left unlockedCuz property died all alone and capitalism lost it's homeThere's plenty of fresh air here in townThe plants are all growing on the carsAnd all of the streets are used for dancing and at night you see all theStarsYada dada deeya yada dadadaYada dada dada dadaYada dada deeya yada dadadaYada dada dada dadaWe're searching for something that was lostAnd centuries all have covered upWe're flailing to find the smallest fragments of our liberated livesAnd every tiny piece we findWe pick up and glue togetherCollectively working for our utopian futures to collideIn snuggly beds and midnight talksAnd wandering bike rides and wayward walksMaking up all of our own music art myth food and newsIt's happening everywhere we goCollective bookstores and basement showsSharing a song that we all know or making up new ones as we goYada dada deeya yada dadadaYada dada dada dadaYada dada deeya yada dadadaYada dada dada dadaI am a dream, this is realI am a dream, you are hereI am a dream, you are meI am a dream we are freeI am a dream, this is realI am a dream, you are hereI am a dream, you are meI am a dream we are freeNow can't you feel the ice caps growNow can't you hear the forest laughAt piles of nicely packaged toothpicks all in processed warehouse rowsCuz the only processing we do nowIs with one another in our homesWith people we'll fight ***** laugh and cry with until the day we dieHere where we share all that we've wonHere where we grieve for what is lostHere where the children grow with names they chose and genders all theirOwnHere where we celebrate each otherHere where you've never had a bossHere where we sing like restless kids with half chewed food inside ourMouthsYada dada deeya yada dadadaYada dada dada dadaYada dada deeya yada dadadaYada dada dada dadaHere in the place outside the boxThere are no more borders left to crossFrom each according to ability and to each based on needHere in the place where dreams aren't deadHere in the space between our heads
