Colonization - Perfect Future
I want to remember everything
Every sycamore and evergreen
Every insect swept up in currents floating past plates of glass
Is a monument I didn't lament as I passed by
It seems so easy for me to remain under roofs and believe
That cement and carpet have covered all the hills and even still
There is no place left for us
What a lie
Abandoned buildings aren't half as empty as the lives they have left behind
After settling on killing able
Where to from here
So here's another parking lot for a new Mcdonald's
That's three this town has got
And if your town doesn't look exactly like mine just give it time
We'll cover the earth with identical developments
Every suburban home with a tire swing an above ground pool and a picket fence
The American dream made manifest
Civilization at it's best
Every island colonized culture neutralized
They'll say everything worked out for the best in the end
For the best in the end
For the best in the end
For the best in the end
For the best in the end
For the best in the end
