UTOPIA REVOLUTION

NATURE

I'm used to the heartbreak of a beer stained dance floor
made reflective by a neon glow
the sad mournful dancing, the sound of a singer 
behind a wall of cigarette smoke
the sense of belonging to those who bend elbows
and share tales of better days
after one too many the tears of loss flow
as they yearn for yesterday

I grew up surrounded by people who would drown in 
their sorrows one drink at a time
a jukebox playing sadly about a love ending badly
and a steel guitar cries every time
now that I'm older with this weight on my shoulders
for the first time I can see
you can get me out of the bar but you can't get the bar out of me


I'm used to the circle that a cold glass will give you
when another beer is set down
or a woman alone in a halo of smoke
who signals for another round
the sad sound of crying as a man is denying
another woman has slept in their bed
the problems never get solved as the bar cries last call
now all of our hopes are dead

I grew up surrounded by people who would drown in 
their sorrows one drink at a time
a jukebox playing sadly about a love ending badly
and a steel guitar cries every time
now that I'm older with this weight on my shoulders
for the first time I can see
you can get me out of the bar but you can't get the bar out of me
