System... - 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 ignored 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 ignored the warnings from the ships in the docks

Now the house on the cliff is the wreckage on the rocks

Nothing could 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 instant

As though from birth I could walk

But I was forced to crawl

So this is such an exciting times (To be alive)

Our generations got to fight (To survive)

It’s in your hands now, whose future?

Our future!

Our future!
