System Lyrics

There was a house in a field on the side of the cliff,
And the waves crashing below were just said to be a myth,
So they ignored the warnings from the ships and 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 the cliff,
And the waves crashing below were just said to be a myth,
So they ignored the warnings from the ships and the docks,
Now the house on the cliff is the wreckage on the rocks,

Nothing can fix the buildings flawed foundations,
but scaffolding and stilts were the laws and legislation,
this house was doomed but they didn't care,
they invested in a system that was beyond repair,

When I was little, I dressed up as an astronaut and explored outter space,
I dressed up as a super hero 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 effect us all,

but of course this sense of common existence,
was sucked out of me in an instance,
as though from birth I could walk but i was forced to crawl

So this is such exciting times,
to be alive,
Our generations got to fight,
to survive,
It's in your hands now,
The future,
OUR FUTURE!
OUR FUTURE!
