...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 |
