Perfect World Today

from Perfect World Today by Peter Galperin

lyrics

(verse 1)
Look out my window at the birds sitting on the fence, the winter snow will soon be gone.
The kids will play outside until dark like we used to do, while the summer days grow long.

(chorus)
It doesn’t get any better than this, Isn’t it a perfect world, today.
It doesn’t get any better than this, Isn’t it a perfect world, today.

(verse 2)
We’ve got HD and a thousand channels on demand, the bad news never looked so clear.
Distant wars are fought so that we can live in Camelot, with every freedom, except from fear.

(bridge)
We’ve been caught up in a slow retreat, like glaciers flowing towards the sea.
But it’s not too late to leave this comfort zone rethink how we live and breath.

(verse 3)
Brand new SUVs fill the parking lots of suburban malls, hauling all the goods we’ve been sold.
While blue skies float above so many ordinary lives, another roadside bomb explodes.
