...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 |
