The Offspring — This Is Not Utopia текст, слова песни (lyrics)

[Verse 1]
Like a shock without a warning
Lies a life that's left behind
And though I try, it's something I just cannot see
It's burning to my mind
Hey, I wake up in the morning
News keeps flashing on my eyes
These dying streets are bruising, people riot, [?]
[?] could be saving
Life is [?] by [?], 'cause there's just no escaping

[Chorus]
Oh, this is not utopia
The roots, the roots, the roots of America
The roots, the roots, the roots of hysteria
The roots, the roots, the rules won't matter anymore
This is not utopia
The roots, the roots, the roots of America
The roots, thе roots, the roots of hysteria
And you, and you, and you don't matter anymorе

[Verse 2]
Better [angels?] of our nature
Well, we've got a way to hide
Brutality I cannot see
These pictures are just burned into my mind
It's commotion in slow motion
It's humanity denied
I finally punch in the face
Without [?], kill me or survive

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh we let the changes coming
Why did it take so long?
And if the change is coming
Was it the same old song?

[Chorus]
This is not utopia
The roots, the roots, the roots of America
The roots, the roots, the roots of hysteria
The roots, the roots, the rules won't matter anymore
This is not utopia
The roots, the roots, the roots of America
The roots, the roots, the roots of hysteria
And you, and you, and you don't matter anymore

[Post-Chorus]
This is not utopia
The roots, the roots, the roots of America
The roots, the roots, the roots of hysteria
And you, and you, and you don't matter anymore
This is not utopia

[Outro]
Now how long must we wait
Until our conquers [?]
And heal these hearts
'Cause it all starts right here
