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(2x) |
|
Nothing could fix the buildings flawed foundation |
|
The scaffold in its stilts |
|
Were the laws 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 |
|
Would suck down me in an instance |
|
As though from birth |
|
I could walk but |
|
I wasForced to crawl |
|
So this is such an exciting time to be alive |
|
Our generations got to fight to survive |
|
Its in your hands now, whose future? |
|
Our future! |
|
Our future! |
