Impressionist Paintings

August 2, 2125 | Narrator: Muralist

"A collective of artists protested the proposed wind turbine farm today, claiming it was unnecessary and disruptive to the local wildlife. One representative, an elderly artist who had been involved in activism for decades, urged the crowd to 'stay angry and stay vigilant.'"


Impressionist paintings
Trying to find the right words
If you look closely
It all just becomes a blur

Do I think I’ve changed?
Well, I couldn’t be sure
Stuck in a daydream
Homemade and hazy
Thinking of things as they were

Impressionist paintings
Never meant something to you
You wanted a warning
Then waited for it to come true

You said, “where’d the time go?”
I was sat preaching fire from the pew
But you never heard me
Headstrong and worldly
Thought you had nothing to lose

Took myself to the town center
Got a new stipend and a new letter
Felt a calm when the sun set, and
I got a feeling I should know better

They want your money, want your trust, and your blind eye
They want you dazzled by the stars in the white sky
They say it’s over, but it’s never over
They say it’s over, but it’s never over

Fifty years and I still check the lock twice
Fifty years that I’ve been walking on ice
Only buy it if it looks nice
Only buy it at the right price

They say it’s over, but it’s never over
Behind us but it’s getting closer
Only see you as a voter
Only hear you as a donor

Went down to the farm and I saw the owner
Said, "they don't want food, they want land and motors
They’re all in if we make it solar"
They say it’s over, but it’s never over

They say it’s over, but it’s never over (never over)
They say it’s over, but it’s never over (never over)
They say it’s over, but it’s never over
Fifty years and I'm telling you it’s never over

They say it’s over, but it’s never over (never over)
They say it’s over, but it’s never over (never over)
They say it’s over, but it’s never over
Fifty years and I'm telling you it’s never over

They say it’s over, but it’s never over (never over)
They say it’s over, but it’s never over (never over)
They say it’s over, but it’s never over (never over)
It’s never over
