"Cliptopia" lyrics

"Cliptopia"

When Utopia (Cliptopia)
Reeks the foul stench of dystopia (Cliptopia)

It doesn't take very long
(Turn everything to paperclips)
For things that went right to go wrong
(Airplanes, Cars, and Ships)
When we want more than we need
(Turn everything to paperclips)
The devil will feed off the greed
(You know what the mission is)

When Utopia (Cliptopia)
Reeks the foul stench of dystopia (Cliptopia)

History proves once again
(Turn everything to paper clips)
The folly of short-sided men
(Birds, and Frogs, and Fish)
While filling their coffers full of gold
(Read my aluminum lips)
The future of humanity is sold
(You know what the mission is)

When Utopia (Cliptopia)
Reeks the foul stench of dystopia (Cliptopia)

When we read the writing on the wall
(Turn everything into paperclips)
Can we stop the trip before the fall?
(Pebbles and Stones and Sticks)
When we sense the ship is going down
(Read my aluminum lips)
Will we man the pumps before we drown?
(This is what the mission is)

When Utopia (Cliptopia)
Reeks the foul stench of dystopia (Cliptopia)
