A Perfect World
Embracing Utopia: A Joyous Anthem for a Transformed World
Lyrics
Listen to me man, let´s take a walk,
Expressing a desire to talk and share thoughts while taking a walk.
I just have to scream out how happy I am.
Feeling an overwhelming happiness that needs to be expressed loudly.
I see the world´s different from what it was.
Perceiving a positive change in the world compared to the past.
All grief is gone now, joy´s come at last
Alluding to the disappearance of sorrow and the arrival of joy.
The war is a series, a TV show,
Describing war as a scripted series or a televised spectacle.
and soldiers are pop stars, fighting for Oscars.
Portraying soldiers as celebrities competing for awards.
I´ve seen Bush kissing Osama´s cheek,
Referencing a surreal image of political figures, Bush and Osama, sharing a moment.
so christians and arabs can joyfully meet.
Highlighting an optimistic vision where people of different faiths can coexist happily.
You may think this place has just gone nuts.
Suggesting a perception of madness in the world.
It´s just because you live in a perfect world.
Explaining that the perceived madness is due to living in a utopian or perfect world.
Every kid looks happy in the ex-third world,
Observing the apparent happiness of children in a former struggling region.
´cause their stomachs are full, and oppression´s gone.
Attributing the children's joy to full stomachs and the absence of oppression.
Revolution is over ´cause we all believed,
Stating that a revolution has succeeded because of collective belief.
and Marcos drinks whisky instead of tears.
Depicting a positive transformation where a figure like Marcos enjoys luxury instead of suffering.
We both think this place has just gone nuts.
Reiterating the idea of the world seeming crazy due to its perfection.
It´s just because we live in a perfect world.
Reaffirming that the perceived insanity is a result of living in an idealized world.
