NUTOPIA - Jack Off Jill

my gerenation 

the city's all wrapped 

I've seen the best minds 
of my generation running on empty, 
super glued to the T.V., 
dreaming of prosperity,
talking incessently... 
saying nothing 

sleepin on platforms in train stations 
sippin on chemical cocktails 
alive to the universe 
and dead to the world 

hallucinating delusions of mediocrity and candied 
desperate in the pursuit of cool 
hes in a suit 
shes in a straightjacket 

7-11 nightmares at 3am 

and i think we might have ... for a while

ive seen the best minds of my generation 
caught up in the virtual reality of living 
memorizing pin numbers and secret codes 
swaying robotically to nonexistant rhythmns flashing membership to clubs so exculsive that no one belongs 

scared 
shitless 
witless 
clueless 
useless 
tight fisted 
tight lipped 
tight assed 
half assed 
ass licking coke sniffing money grubbing ego JABBIN' 
ass licking coke sniffing money grubbing ego JABBIN' 

sniffling and goveling 
moaning and groaning 

and i think we might have ... for a while

the city's all wrapped up in plastic 
like an electronic cocoon 
if you lay in the street you can hear it humming
filling up slowly from underground 
if you close your eyes 
you can observe the blue prints 
the man-made DNA that spirals 
breathlessly out of control 
as synapse collapse 
bridges snap 
into a restless utopia 
UTOPIA

(whoa)
and i think we might have ... for a while
(2x)

jesus said 
lay down your arms 
jesus said 
children come home
