Lyrics
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.
