Realism

Lyrics

This is it
You’ve got the answer
Convinced yourself the problem was
That no-one’s tried to solve it
So you sit
Drawing plans for
A great, fluorescent future
Born of incremental tweaks to what we have

Same injustice baked in
But a little less overt piss taking

It’s a failure of
Imagination
Some old bastards made this world
We can just unmake it
It’s a failure of
Imagination
We can dream of longer chains
Or we can try to break them

You wear a veil
But it’s the wrong one
Ignorant of systems but
Not of your place within them
Privilege
Runs in the family
Can’t see past the edges of your lifestyle
So this must be natural

Same injustice baked in
But a little less overt piss taking

It’s a failure of
Imagination
Some old bastards made this world
We can just unmake it
It’s a failure of
Imagination
We can dream of longer chains
Or we can try to break them

Same injustice baked in
But a little less overt piss taking

It’s a failure of
Imagination
Some old bastards made this world
We can just unmake it
It’s a failure of
Imagination
We can dream of longer chains
Or we can try to break them
