[00:00.00]Utopian Futures - Kimya Dawson
[00:16.43]Somewhere the bombing all has stopped
[00:19.72]And people begin to sit and talk
[00:23.13]And somewhere insomniatic stockbrokers
[00:26.96]Can rest their bloodshot eyes
[00:29.96]Cause there's nothing left to buy or sell
[00:33.38]Or kill or die for anymore
[00:36.78]We're living inside eternal moments
[00:40.41]That we've searched for all our lives
[00:43.84]There's nobody living by the clock
[00:47.36]And every door is left unlocked
[00:50.75]Cause property died all alone
[00:54.15]And capitalism lost its home
[00:57.78]There's plenty of fresh air here in town
[01:01.17]And plants are growing on the cars
[01:04.81]And all of the streets are used for dancing
[01:08.53]And at night you see all the stars
[01:11.83]Ya da da da di ya ya da da da da
[01:14.96]Ya da da da da da da da
[01:18.24]Ya da da da di ya ya da da da da
[01:21.43]Ya da da da da da da da
[01:30.77]We're searching for something that was lost
[01:33.70]And centuries all have covered up
[01:36.79]We're flailing to find the smallest
[01:38.99]Fragments of our liberated lives
[01:42.97]And every tiny piece we find
[01:46.05]We pick up and glue together
[01:49.21]Collectively working for our
[01:51.72]Utopian futures to collide
[01:55.49]In snugly beds and midnight talks
[01:58.67]In wandering bike rides and wayward walks
[02:01.89]Making up all of our own music
[02:04.93]Art myth food and news
[02:08.26]It's happening everywhere we go
[02:11.30]Collective bookstores and basement shows
[02:14.60]Sharing a song that we all know or
[02:17.87]Making up new ones as we go
[02:21.06]Ya da da da di ya ya da da da da
[02:24.17]Ya da da da da da da da
[02:27.34]Ya da da da di ya ya da da da da
[02:30.57]Da da da da da da da da
[02:40.45]I'm a dream this is real
[02:43.70]I'm a dream you are here
[02:47.02]I'm a dream you are me
[02:50.31]I'm a dream we are free
[02:53.53]I'm a dream this is real
[02:56.89]I'm a dream you are here
[03:00.09]I'm a dream you are me
[03:03.40]I'm a dream we are free
[03:06.80]Now can't you feel the ice caps grow
[03:09.71]Now can't you hear the forests laugh
[03:12.82]At piles of nicely packaged toothpicks
[03:16.01]All in processed warehouse rows
[03:19.14]Cause the only processing we do now
[03:22.30]Is with one another in our homes
[03:25.42]With people we'll fight f**k laugh and cry with
[03:28.64]Until the day we die
[03:31.77]Here where we share all that we've won
[03:34.92]Here where we grieve for what is lost
[03:38.25]Here where the children grow with names
[03:40.92]They chose and genders all their own
[03:44.34]Here where we celebrate each other
[03:47.64]Here where you've never had a boss
[03:50.74]Here where we sing like restless kids
[03:53.48]With half chewed food inside our mouths
[03:57.09]Ya da da da di ya ya da da da da
[04:00.13]Da da da da da da da da
[04:03.31]Ya da da da di ya ya da da da da
[04:06.42]Ya da da da da da da da
[04:16.19]Here in the place outside the box
[04:19.76]There are no more borders left to cross
[04:23.89]From each according to ability and to each based on need
[04:31.95]Here in the place where dreams aren't dead
[04:36.08]Here in the space between our heads
