...Meltdown - Enter Shikari

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
