NIMBY from 2445 by Gargoyle Circus

NIMBY

IT HAPPENS SUDDENLY ONE MORNING
THE PICTURE GETS CRYSTAL CLEAR
YOU CONNECT ALL THE DOTS
BEFORE THE THOUGHT DISAPPEARS

AND IT STRIKES ME KIND OF ODD
THAT THEY ALL KEEP PRETENDING
BUT NOBODY REALLY KNOWS
HOW AND WHERE IT'S ALL ENDING

I AM MOSTLY FINE, MOSTLY RIGHT
NOTHING GAINED, NOTHING LOST
SO PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT HARD
BUT I DON'T WANT IT IN MY BACKYARD

SO WE SCAVENGE FOR THE PAST
TO TRY TO FIND THE REASONS WHY
WE ACT THE WAY WE ALWAYS ACT
FROM THE DAY WE'RE BORN UNTIL WE DIE

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING LEFT BEHIND
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING WE FORGET
AND WHEN WE NOTICE WE REALIZE
THAT THERE'S REALLY NO GOING BACK

I AM MOSTLY FINE, MOSTLY RIGHT
NOTHING GAINED, NOTHING LOST
SO PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT HARD
BUT I DON'T WANT YOU IN MY BACKYARD

I AM MOSTLY FINE, MOSTLY RIGHT
NOTHING GAINED, NOTHING LOST
SO PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT HARD
BUT I DON'T WANT IT IN MY BACKYARD
