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 |
