Way Beyond - Bastille

«What the fuck are y’all doing is the question

This is the question»

The animals break out their cages

Now chaos is raining down around us

But here we stand with our arms folded

Do you wanna be free of this?

When panic rises like the oceans

We just keep on flicking through the stations

'Cause if we don’t post it doesn’t happen

Oh I wanna be free of this

Have you and I been sleepwalking way too long?

Won’t someone pour ice water on me?

It only matters if we care now, if you’re way beyond that

Then I’m gonna dust you off of my shoulders

And I remember when we cared now, if you’re way beyond that

Then I’m gonna dust you off of my shoulders, my shoulders

Movies and news on television

Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference, oh

When real life’s more fucked up than fiction

Do you wanna be free of this?

Have you and I been sleepwalking way too long?

Won’t someone pour ice water on me?

It only matters if we care now, if you’re way beyond that

Then I’m gonna dust you off of my shoulders

And I remember when we cared now, if you’re way beyond that

Then I’m gonna dust you off of my shoulders

I don’t wanna play dumb (dumb), anymore

I just wanna feel something (something), like before

I don’t wanna feel numb (numb), anymore

I just wanna feel something (something), like before

It only matters if we care now, if you’re way beyond that

Then I’m gonna dust you off of my shoulders

And I remember when we cared now, if you’re way beyond that

Then I’m gonna dust you off of my shoulders, my shoulders

«Television viewers have the choice of watching the tragedy play out from the

safety and comfort of their living rooms.

But victims have to respond to the

pressure of the media while still in shock»

If you’re way beyond that

Then I’m gonna dust you off of my shoulders, my shoulders
