Lyrics This Is Not Utopia - The Offspring
Like
a
shot
without
a
warning
Lies
a
life
that's
left
behind
And
though
I
try,
it's
something
I
just
can't
unsee
It's
burned
into
my
mind
And
I
wake
up
in
the
morning
News
keeps
flashing
on
my
eyes
These
dying
streets
are
bruised
and
beaten
And
riot
flags
are
waving
Poor
and
weak,
we
extend
this
streak
These
lives
we
could
be
saving
Life
is
cheap,
I
sit
and
weep
'Cause
there's
just
no
mistaking
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
don't
matter
anymorе
This
is
not
utopia
The
roots,
the
roots
The
roots
of
America
The
roots,
the
roots
The
roots
of
hysteria
You,
and
you,
and
you
Don't
matter
anymorе
The
better
angels
of
our
nature
Well,
they've
gone
away
to
hide
Brutality
I
can't
unsee
These
pictures
are
just
burned
into
my
mind
It's
commotion
in
slow
motion
It's
humanity
denied
A
violent
race,
punch
in
the
face
With
all
this
hate,
how
can
we
all
survive?
And
if
a
change
is
coming
What
makes
it
take
so
long?
And
if
a
change
is
coming
Why
sing
the
same
old
song?
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
don't
matter
anymorе
This
is
not
utopia
The
roots,
the
roots
The
roots
of
America
The
roots,
the
roots
The
roots
of
hysteria
You,
and
you,
and
you
Don't
matter
anymorе
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
anymorе
This
is
not
utopia
So
how
long
must
we
wait?
Until
love
conquers
hate?
And
heal
these
hearts
'Cause
it
all
starts
right
here
