Enter Shikari - System lyrics

rate me

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?stealks? 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
