Utopian Futures Lyrics - Thunder Thighs - Kimya Dawson

Somewhere the bombing all has stopped 

And people begin to sit and talk 

And somewhere insomniatic stockbrokers can rest their bloodshot eyes 

Cuz there's nothing left to buy or sell 

Or kill or die for anymore 

We're living inside eternal moments that we've searched all our lives 

There's nobody living by the clock 

And every door is left unlocked 

Cuz property died all alone and capitalism lost it's home 

There's plenty of fresh air here in town 

The plants are all growing on the cars 

And all of the streets are used for dancing and at night you see all the stars 

Yada dada deeya yada dadada 

Yada dada dada dada 

Yada dada deeya yada dadada 

Yada dada dada dada 

We're searching for something that was lost 

And centuries all have covered up 

We're flailing to find the smallest fragments of our liberated lives 

And every tiny piece we find 

We pick up and glue together 

Collectively working for our utopian futures to collide 

In snuggly beds and midnight talks 

And wandering bike rides and wayward walks 

Making up all of our own music art myth food and news 

Its happening everywhere we go 

Collective bookstores and basement shows 

Sharing a song that we all know or making up new ones as we go 

Yada dada deeya yada dadada 

Yada dada dada dada 

Yada dada deeya yada dadada 

Yada dada dada dada 

I am a dream, this is real 

I am a dream, you are here 

I am a dream, you are me 

I am a dream we are free 

I am a dream, this is real 

I am a dream, you are here 

I am a dream, you are me 

I am a dream we are free 

Now can't you feel the ice caps grow 

Now can't you hear the forest laugh 

At piles of nicely packaged toothpicks all in processed warehouse rows 

Cuz the only processing we do now 

Is with one another in our homes 

With people we'll fight fuck laugh and cry with until the day we die 

Here where we share all that we've won 

Here where we grieve for what is lost 

Here where the children grow with names they chose and genders all their own 

Here where we celebrate each other 

Here where you've never had a boss 

Here where we sing like restless kids with half chewed food inside our mouths 

Yada dada deeya yada dadada 

Yada dada dada dada 

Yada dada deeya yada dadada 

Yada dada dada dada 

Here in the place outside the box 

There are no more borders left to cross 

From each according to ability and to each based on need 

Here in the place where dreams aren't dead 

Here in the space between our heads
