...Meltdown

There was a house in a field on the side of a cliff
And the waves crashing below were just said to be a myth
So they ignore the warnings from the ships in the docks
Now the house on the cliff is the wreckage on the rocks
There was a house in a field on the side of a cliff
And the waves crashing below were just said to be a myth
So they ignore the warnings from the ships in the docks
Now the house on the cliff is the wreckage on the rocks
Nothing can fix the building’s flawed foundation
The scaffolding and stilts were the laws and legislation
This house was doomed, but they didn’t care
They’d invested in the system that was beyond repair
When I was little
I dressed up as an astronaut, and explored outer-space
I dressed up as a superhero, and ran about the place
I dressed up as a fireman, and rescued those in need
I dressed up as a doctor, and cured every disease
It was crystal clear to me back then that the only problems that I could
Face
Would be the same problems that affect us all
But of course this sense of common existence was sucked out of me in an
Instance
As if from birth I could walk but I was forced to crawl
So this an exciting time, to be alive
Our generation’s gotta fight, to survive
It’s in your hands now, there’s no time
Our future, Our future
It’s your future
Ohhhhhhh
This is 'gonna change everything
This is 'gonna change everything
This is 'gonna change everything
System meltdown
Stand up
How we gonna get through this alive?, get through this alive
It’s not too late, it’s not too late
Stand up
How we gonna get out this alive?, get out of this alive
It’s not too late, it’s not too late
Stand up
How we gonna get through this alive?, get through this alive
It’s not too late, it’s not too late
Stand up!
Countries are just lines, drawn in the sand
Inside this sick foundation
We’ve had the realisation
Inside this sick foundation
We’ve had the revelation
Fuck all borders and fuck all boundaries
Fuck all flags and fuck nationalities
You’ve gotta give us a chance before we reach our
System meltdown
Stand up
How we gonna get through this alive?, get through this alive
It’s not too late, it’s not too late
Stand up
How we gonna get out this alive?, get out of this alive
It’s not too late, it’s not too late
Stand up
How we gonna get through this alive?, get through this alive
It’s not too late, it’s not too late
Countries are just lines, drawn in the sand with a stick
Inside this sick foundation
We’ve had the realisation
Inside this sick foundation
We’ve had the revelation
We begin to learn to smile again
Start to walk that extra mile again
Cos I know that we are one
It’s not too late, it’s not too late
Stand up
It’s not too late, it’s not too late
Fear begins to vanish when we realise
That countries are just lines, drawn in the sand with a stick
