Sedated in Utopia Lyrics

SEDATED IN UTOPIA
[LYRICS: GAPA, MUSIC: GAPA/JAKA]

I LIVE IN MY UTOPIA
I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD, IF I COULD
IF THE PEOPLE AROUND ME REFLECT ON THEIR MISTAKES
LISTEN AND FORGIVE
AND GIVE EACH OTHER THE OPPORTUNITY
AMONG US PEACE WILL REIGN
RELATIONSHIPS WILL BE LESS STRESSFUL
AND EVERY DAY WE'LL BUILD A STRONGHOLD

BUT THIS IS ONLY MY UTOPIA
MY IDEAL SOCIETY THAT DOESN’T EXIST
TODAY'S WORLD IS A DIFFERENT MIX
WE ARE CONSUMERS, MANAGED BY MONEY
NEVER ENDING THE VICIOUS CIRCLE OF GREED

MAN BECAME GREEDY
ERODED BY THE DESIRE FOR WEALTH
HE’S BLIND AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE’S DOING
CAUSING DAMAGE TO HIMSELF AND OTHERS
EATING MONEY, HUNGERING FOR PROFIT
BLINDNESS IS CONQUERING THE WORLD
OF US WASTING OUR MONEY

BUT THIS IS ONLY MY UTOPIA
MY IDEAL SOCIETY THAT DOESN’T EXIST

I'M INCREASINGLY CONCERNED
ABOUT THE PRESENT SITUATION, BECAUSE
EVERY DAY I HEAR NEWS ABOUT VICTIMS
MASS KILLING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE
BOMBINGS TURNING THE WORLD TO ASHES
REFUGEES FLEEING TO NEW LANDS
RUNNING FROM THE ATTACK OF DEATH
THEIR LIVES ARE IN DANGER
BUT WE ARE SAFE IN OUR COUNTRIES
WHERE HYSTERIA RULES OVER US

PROTECTING THE COUNTRY WITH WIRES
TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORLD

I QUESTION THE CHANCE OF HOPE IN OUR WORLD
THINKING OF THE WHOLE SITUATION
AND DROWNING THESE THOUGHTS IN ALCOHOL
I WANT TO FORGET ALL THE MISERY AROUND US
I ENJOY THE OPIUM OF PEACE IN MY ECSTASY I'M LOOKING FOR PEACE OF MIND
AND SO I CLOSE MY EYES
MY MIND HEAVILY SEDATED

IN MY UTOPIA, DROWNING MY THOUGHTS
BELIEVING THAT A PIECE OF HOPE STILL LIVES IN ME
