21st Century Survival Blues |
I’ve got the 21st century survival blues |
A condition brought on by watching the news |
Things have been quiet for far too long |
And if I know human beings, things are gonna go wrong |
We were raised in a glade of unsustainable peace |
Not many of us ever have to live on our knees |
I’m scared that I won’t have the strength that it takes |
To stand up when the levee breaks |
So meet me at home when the sirens go off |
I don’t wanna be alone, so don’t you get lost |
I know a place where the two of us can hide |
We can barricade the door and we’d be safe inside |
When the harsh winds blow and the world gets cold |
You can’t trust kindness and you can’t eat gold |
I’ve got the 21st century survival blues |
But to tell you the truth, I just need you |
I’ve got the 21st century survival blues |
A generation raised up without paying its dues |
Comfortable enough to play around with doubt |
Without knowing how to survive when the lights go out |
And if we take away the things that they’ve been depending on |
We’ll be flailing like children in a nursery home |
So I started making lists of the essential things |
For when the storms bring what they bring |
