Enter Shikari lyrics : "System..."

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 ignored the waters from the ships in the docks

Now the house on the cliff is the reckage 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 ignored the waters from the ships in the docks
Now the house on the cliff is the reckage on the rocks


Nothing can fix the buildings flawed foundation
The scaffold in its stilts were the laws legislation

This house was doomed but they didnt care
They'd invested in the system that was beyond repair


When I was little I dressed up as an astronaut

And explored outerspace

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 would suck down me in an instance
As though from birth I could walk but I was forced to crawl


So this is such an exciting time to be alive
Our generations gotta fight to survive
Its in your hands now our future, our future, our future
