Nutopia - Meg Lee Chin, Hanzel Und Gretyl

My generation

My generation

My generation

The cities all wrapped up

I saw the best minds of my generation

Running on empty, superglued to the TV

Dreaming of prosperity

Talking incessantly

Saying nothing

Sleeping on platforms at train stations

Sipping chemical cocktails

Alive to the Universe

Dead to the World

Hallucinating delusions of media reality in Camden Town, Desperate in the

pursuit of cool

He’s in a suit, she’s in a straight jacket

7−11 nightmares at 3am.

lay low.

«and the moon is quiet and holy»

Watch all the bridges collide

And I think we might have to lay low, for a while

I saw the best minds of my generation

Caught up in the virtual reality of living

Memorizing pin numbers and secret codes

Swaying robotically to non-existent rhythms

Flashing memberships to clubs so exclusive

Nobody belongs

Scared shitless, witless, clueless, useless, tight-lipped, tight-fisted,

tight-assed, half-assed, ass-licking, coke-sniffing, money grabbing,

ego-jabbing

Lay low.

Ass-licking, coke-sniffing, money grabbing, ego-jabbing

Lay low.

Sniveling, groveling, moaning, groaning

Sniveling, groveling, moaning, groaning

Sniveling, groveling, sniveling, groveling

Sniveling, groveling, sniveling, groveling

«and the moon is quiet and holy»

Watch all the bridges collide

And I think we might have to lay low, for a while

Jesus said «Lay down your arms.»

Jesus said «Children come home.»

The city’s all wrapped up in plastic like an electronic cocoon

If you lay in the street you can hear it humming

Building up slowly from underground

If you close your eyes you can observe the blueprint

The man-made DNA that spirals breathlessly out of control

As synapses collapse, bridges snap, to a restless utopia:

Nutopia

Now the rain has arrived, and I think we might have to lay low, lay low.

Watch all the bridges collide, and I think we might have to lay low

Jesus said «Lay down your arms.»

Jesus said «Children come home.»
