    thank you, Rou, for being such a fantastic person to admire. I'll never forget the lessons learned throughout all of your music.

      They should, but I feel like a lot of ignorant people will think this is just anarchist and dismiss it because its not what conforms to their understanding of the world. And would also most likely not understand the nuances within the song.

    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 ignore the warnings from the ships in the docks
    Now the house on the cliff is the wreckage on the rocks (x2)
    Nothing can 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 instance
    As if from birth I could walk but I was forced to crawl
    So this an exciting time, to be alive
    Our generation's gotta fight, to survive
    It's in your hands now, this future!
    Our future, Our future!
    It's your future
    Ohhhhhhh
    MELTDOWN:
    This is 'gonna change everything (x3)
    System meltdown, meltdown, meltdown, meltdown
    Stand up
    How we gonna get through this alive?, get through this alive
    It's not too late, it's not too late
    (x3)
    Stand up!
    Countries are just lines, drawn in the sand
    Inside this sick foundation
    We've had the realisation
    Inside this sick foundation
    We've had the revelation
    Fuck all borders and fuck all boundaries
    Fuck all flags and fuck nationalities
    You've gotta give us a chance before we reach our
    System meltdown, meltdown, meltdown, meltdown
    Stand up
    How we gonna get through this alive?, get through this alive
    It's not too late, it's not too late
    (x3)
    Countries are just lines, drawn in the sand with a stick
    Inside this sick foundation
    We've had the realisation
    Inside this sick foundation
    We've had the revelation
    We begin to learn to smile again
    Start to walk that extra mile again
    Cos I know that WE ARE ONE!
    It's not too late, it's not too late
    Stand up
    It's not too late, it's not too late
    Fear begins to vanish when we realise
    That countries are just lines, drawn in the sand with a stick!
