about

I was driving east on Decatur Street & heard a guest on Radio Free GA saying that we should envision our future on the horizon and work to make it happen... something like that, but speaking politically and I found it inspiring. Next time a song started happening it was this one, complaining about the system that truly oppresses us, even as it shelters us (some of us), a system that rewards the ruthless and has ever less compassion for those born without the "proper" assortment of aggressive abilities.

lyrics

Lookin around the corner here it's stick-up time for the poor again
a heist on the heels of a heist again
and some of us are questioning

chorus:
you see something on the horizon glittering appeal
walk on toward it with your focus
utopia utopia

2.
measuring what is measured here it's privilege time for the rich again
a heist on the heels of a heist again
and more of us are noticing - chorus

3.
ecological ex-entrepreneur sees matter in space and time again
sees billions in stars and years again
sees billions diverted to the rich again
and there is growing resistance - chorus
