Pretender’s Stage Lyrics by Utopia Now

Myopia

0

Buried alive, ready to dive
Into shallow water
While painting our lives
With the same set of colors
It’s the freedom to be but yourself
The more we try, the more we become someone else
Someone else!
The masses proclaim they’re bucking the game
Yet the machine runs
But insisting “I’m different”
In safe unison
It’s the freedom to take what you please
The more we try, the more we learn to want what we receive
Chorus:
Acting badly on this pretenders’ stage
We build our own cultural cage
The air is filled with waving placards reading “freedom” and “resistance”
But no one picks up the gage and works towards change
Bridge:
Socioculturally it’s a catastrophe
Time for a Great Awakening and cataclysmic changes
An ancient statue of gold, portioned, packed up and sold
As blueprints for uniqueness in our mass-marketing age
In disgust I look down on what they made of this monument
I shut down my senses to be only by myself
Where will it all end?
