System... 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 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/system-lyrics-enter-shikari.html ] 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 was Forced 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!
