System…

 

There was a house in a field on the side of the cliff

And the waves crashing below were just said to be a myth

So they ignored the warnings from the ships and 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 the cliff

And the waves crashing below were just said to be a myth

So they ignored the warnings from the ships and the docks

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

 

Nothing can fix the buildings flawed foundations

But scaffolding and stilts were the laws and legislation

This house was doomed but they didn’t care

They invested in a system that was beyond repair

 

When I was little

I dressed up as an astronaut and explored outter space

I dressed up as a super hero 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 effect us all

 

But of course this sense of common existence

Was sucked out of me in an instance

As though from birth I could walk but I was forced to crawl

 

So this is such exciting times

To be alive

Our generations got to fight

To survive

It’s in your hands now

The future

Our future!

Our future!
