System...

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!
