The Offspring - This Is Not Utopia (Official Lyric Video)

The official lyric video for The Offspring’s “This Is Not Utopia”

Listen

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
This is not utopia

The roots of America
Are the roots of hysteria
The rules don’t matter anymore
This is not utopia

The roots of America
Are the roots of hysteria
And you don’t matter anymore

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 of America
Are the roots of hysteria
The rules don’t matter anymore
This is not utopia

The roots of America
Are the roots of hysteria
And you don’t matter anymore
This is not utopia

The roots of America
Are the roots of hysteria
And you don’t matter anymore

So now how long must we wait?
Until love conquers hate?
And heal these hearts
Cause it all starts
Right here

My daughter cannot believe i love this music. I am 60, she is 17.

[Brandon_Root]

So stoked. The Offspring isn't just a band, it's a feeling.

[keitasuzuki]

日本の音楽シーンではこういったロック調な曲が消えましたが
Offspringはいつ聞いても一貫してカッコイイ。

[fernandacestari]

I don't believe it, I'm almost 40 years, Brazilian, mother, professional.. but when I hear Offspring I just think about breaking everything, making a mosh, destroy governments, avoid stupid and unnecessary wars. Stand up and fight! ahuahuahau Ty for this awesome piece Offspring, forever in our hearts. VAI

[ItsAllAboutGuitar]

Wow! This is an eight hundred foot home run. It's great to see The Offspring absolutely killing it still.

[jasonjenkins]

It's a shame punk doesn't get the same respect as other mediums. Offspring have made huge hits in FOUR different decades now. They are in the same rare air as Metallica, Aerosmith, and Ozzy. That kind of prolific career is one of the greatest of all time.

[bgaona]

The Offspring has lost none of its will or vitality. This is fantastic music. And it's also interesting that this raw energy comes as a plea for healing Society. It's a real Offspring thing.

[ryanfasiska]

It's great that the rock culture is still awake. Hip hop has completely lost touch with reality. Rock and roll will never die!

[jhonatan]

Que música top!!!! Abrindo o álbum com tudo !!!! Quem é do Brasil 🇧🇷 curte aí 👍🏼

[Richtiiig]

I hear Dexter's voice, Noodles Riffs - Goosebumps, since 1999 (for me)

[christophermelton]

Offspring has truly captured the spirit of the times.

[candykandy]

The Offspring returning gives us meaning to life

[jameswhite]

Man they still got it the whole album is phenomenal and what the did with Gone Away is epic pure talent and totally Offspring.

[ilawkandy]

Feels like classic The Offspring. More like that please

[robertopaxitola]

De las pocas bandas que mantienen su escencia y siguen sonando igual de bien que sus clásicos...Offspring leyenda viva!!

[Barbara-nxgq]

Man, touring with Bad Religion has really brought you back! Absolutely LOVE this song!

[marc-andrehoule]

I'm about to run in the rain to go by their new CD. My Offspring are back. A special day for me everyone!🏃🌧️⭐
