1. 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

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

Nothing could fix the buildings flawed foundation
The 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 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 though from birth I could walk but I was forced to crawl

So this is such exciting time
To be alive
Our generations got to fight
To survive
It's in your hands now,
Whose future?
Our Future!
Our Future!


2. ...MELTDOWN

It's your future,

OOOH!
This is gonna change everything!
This is gonna change everything!
This is gonna change everything!

System Meltdown, Meltdown, Meltdown

Stand Up!
How are we gonna get through this alive, get through this alive,
(It's not too late, It's not too late)

Stand Up!
How are we gonna get out this alive, get out this alive,
(It's not too late, It's not too late)

Stand Up!
How are we gonna get through this alive, get through this alive,
(It's not too late, It's not too late)

Stand Up!

Countries are just lines, drawn in the sand

Inside this sick foundation,
We've had the realization,
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 A
System MELTDOWN, MELTDOWN, MELTDOWN

Stand Up!
How are we gonna get through this alive, get through this alive,
(It's not too late, It's not too late)

Stand Up!
How are we gonna get out this alive, get out this alive,
(It's not too late, It's not too late)

Stand Up!
How are we gonna get through this alive, get through this alive,
(It's not too late, It's not too late)

Countries are just lines,
Drawn in the sand with a stick!

Inside this sick foundation,
We've had the realization,
Inside this sick foundation,
We've had the revelation,

We begin to learn to smile again,
Start to walk that extra mile again,
'Cause 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 realize
that countries are just lines
drawn in the sand with a stick!


3. SSSNAKEPIT

Come and join the party, leave anxieties behind
When the weight of all the world is pushing down.
Nah nah nah cut this tension mate it's too much.

Situation volatile, seriously hostile
Breadwinners,
Soul searchers,
Fear merchants,
Seeking.
Brightly colored, no use for camouflage,
When you're venomous and willing to sabotage.
We're just a group of your white blood cells
Fighting off parasites
We're your system mechanics
Trying to fix this machine
What's the one thing that has
More speed, more strength,
And goes deeper than us?
A nuclear submarine.

Ah come on just open the door!

Knocked off my feet by the backdraft
Brought back to earth
Oxygen clears my head
And I just gotta say
Oh you're not gonna believe this
You can't perceive this
This is like nothing you've seen before
But lucky for you
Yea lucky for you
This is an open door

Come and join the party, leave anxieties behind
When the weight of all the world is pushing down.
Down on your shoulders
Come and join the party, leave anxieties behind
When the weight of all the world is pushing down
Just push right back!

Oh you're not gonna believe this
You can't perceive this
This is like nothing you've seen before
But lucky for you
Yea lucky for you
They're well prepared… but they forgot one thing
Yea yea we're nice guys… until we're not!

Come and join the party, leave anxieties behind
When the weight of all the world is pushing down
Down on your shoulders
Come and join the party, leave anxieties behind
When the weight of all the world is pushing down
Just push right back!

Come and join the party, leave anxieties behind
When the weight of all the world is pushing down
Come and join the party, leave anxieties behind
When the weight of all the world is pushing down
Just push right back!
Just push right back!
Just push right back!


4. SEARCH PARTY

I know that we're gonna repeat history
Unless we sort this out
I know that we've gotta find something new
Something new

Now my crew is 6 thousand millions strong
But we're not learning from
A history of conflict and violence
For ownership and the power to silence

I know that we've gotta find something new
WOAH! WOAH!
I know that we've gotta find something new
WOAH! WOAH!

Retracing all our steps
We sent out the set back search party
To locate the barriers that locks us down
Phenakistoscope is spinning
Flashbacks to your beginnings
The repetition that you found, you found

Now my crew is 6 thousand millions strong
But we're not learning from
A history of conflict and violence
For ownership and the power to silence

I know that we've gotta find something new
WOAH! WOAH!
I know that we've gotta find something new
WOAH! WOAH!

I know that we're gonna repeat history
Unless we sort this out
I know that we've gotta find something new
Something new

All hands on deck
We've gotta scrub these fuckers out
All hands on deck

I know that we've gotta find something new
WOAH! WOAH!
I know that we've gotta find something new
WOAH! WOAH!
I know that we've gotta find something new
WOAH! WOAH!
I know that we've gotta find something new
WOAH! WOAH!

I know that we're gonna repeat history
Unless we sort this out
I know that we've gotta find something new
Something new
Something new
Something new
Something new


5. ARGUING WITH THERMOMETERS

This is an expedition,
Into the Arctic tundra!
This is a sickening mission, Yeah!
Just to spoil and plunder!

That's the sound of another door shutting in,
In the face of progress, in the face of progress.
They'll plant their flags in the sea bed,
Shackleton is rolling in his grave...
That's the sound of another door shutting in,
In the face of progress, in the face of progress.
They'll plant their flags in the sea bed,
Shackleton is rolling in his grave.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
We're all addicted to the most abused and destructive drug of all time,
And I ain't talking about class A's - That business is minuscule when compared
And just like any addict desperate to get his next fix,
We resort to commiting crimes to secure our next hit!

You know there's oil in the ice!
You know there's oil in my eyes!
You know there's blood on my hands!
Yeah! We're all addicted!
Yeah! We're all dependent!
That's a maniac stand point!
Psychotic outlook.
That's a maniac stand point!
Psychotic outlook!

That's the sound of another door shutting in,
In the face of progress, in the face of progress.
They'll plant their flags in the sea bed,
Shackleton is rolling in his grave...
That's the sound of another door shutting in,
In the face of progress, in the face of progress.
They'll plant their flags in the sea bed,
Shackleton is rolling in his grave.

So let me get this straight as we witness the ice caps melt,
Instead of been spurred into changing our ways,
We're gonna invest in military hardware to fight for the remaining oil that's
Left beneath the ice!?
What happens when it's all gone!? You haven't thought this through, have you boys?

We'll take you down!
We'll take you down!
We'll take you down!
Stand your ground!

You know there's oil in the ice!
You know there's oil in my eyes!
You know there's blood on my hands!
Yeah! We're all addicted!
Yeah! We're all dependent!
That's a maniac stand point!
Psychotic outlook.
That's a maniac stand point!
Psychotic outlook.

Yeah, back to the drawing board boys,
Accept nothing short of complete reversal.
Dig deep.


6. STALEMATE

Previous wars made billionaires out of millionaires,
Today's wars make trillionaires out of billionaires,
Tomorrows wars will fuel generations of hate,
Generations of hate,

I'm losing my grip on reality,
I cannot simply agree that we are civilized,
Acting like this Earth is infinite,
It's a chess board of lies that will generate Stalemate,
It will generate Stalemate,

So yes I've gone to the hills again,
So yes I've gone away,

Money is made while bombs are dropping in Afghanistan
When white phosphorous falls in Palestine,
Hauling weapons out of reprobates,
Arming anyone who wants a taste of disgrace.
Wants a taste of disgrace.

So yes I've gone to the hills again,
So yes I've gone away,
So yes I've gone to the hills again,
So yes I've gone away,
Hey!

Oh! So! I've drifted away in disbelief,
So yes I've, yes I've gone to the hills again

And I'll live out this fantasy
And I'll live out this fantasy
I'll live this fantasy
I'll live this fan- [2x]

And I'll live out this fantasy
And I'll live out this fantasy
I'll live this fantasy
I'll live this fantasy


7. GANDHI MATE, GANDHI

Now I don’t know about you, but

I don’t think…
the primary purpose of your life, of my life,
and the entirety of the human race
Is just to blindly consume to support a failing economy and a faulty system
For ever and ever
Until we run out of every resource
And have to resort to blowing each other up to ensure our own survival.

I don’t think…
We’re supposed to sit by idle
While we continue to use a long outdated system
That produces war, poverty, collusion, corruption,
Ruins our environment and threatens every aspect of our health,
And does nothing but divide and segregate us,

I don’t think…
How much military equipment we’re selling to other countries,
How many hydrocarbons we’re burning,
How much money is being printed and exchanged
Is a good measure of how healthy our society is.

But I do think…
I can speak for everyone when I say…
We’re sick of this shit.

Time to mobilise, time to open eyes

We are not a quiet pocket of resistance
This is real and we cannot afford to fail
Act with, act with persistence (This is real)
And we cannot afford to fail
“I am the established order, respect me and fear me”
Fuck you we hold no respect and when tomorrow comes
We’re gonna stamp on your head!

“See if we keep them silent; Then they’ll resort to violence; And that’s how you criminalise change.”

Yabba dabba do one son, we don’t want your rules
Who you fooling son? We got all the tools we need
To build a whole new system
To correct these flaws
“Yeh like what?”
I’ve already listed them
“You’re a communist!”
“You’re a fucking utopianist!”
There come the emotive labels
But their attempt just fails
‘Cos man we’re so far out your comfort zone

We stop, think, begin to revive [x3]

Put the call out to the front line
Get the message out to the contact squad
Transmit emergency frequencies

The jigsaw starts to build
Piece by piece

Open their minds
Transmit emergency frequencies


8. WARM SMILES DO NOT MAKE YOU WELCOME HERE

And with these humble tools
We can trigger any emotion we choose
But we'll just settle to pump out repeated relics
Diluted with time
Time

You see the airwaves are clogged up
But the fickle they lap it up
Lap it up
They need to be drowned in condiments
And left to ponder sense
Warm smiles
They do not make you welcome here
Warm smiles
They do not make you welcome here

Snap back to reality
The turbulence is blowing us from side to side
Side
But no matter how hard you try
Surrounded by cannon fodder
Inundated with stagnant sounds
Sounds

You see the airwaves are clogged up
But the fickle they lap it up
Lap it up
They need to be drowned in condiments
And left to ponder sense
Warm smiles
They do not make you welcome here
Warm smiles
They do not make you welcome here

Transformation in progress
Transformation in progress
Transformation complete

Lightning strikes
A flash flood of colour
I can't stand the heat
I can't stand the heat
A flash flood of colour
I can't
I can't stand the heat
A flash flood of colour

Warm smiles
They do not make you welcome here
Warm smiles
They do not make you welcome here
Warm smiles
They do not make you welcome here


9. PACK OF THIEVES

Here behind those eyes,
There is something you should know.
Here behind those eyes,
There is something you should know.

Oooohh, change can not be subject to conditional falls,
'Cause we're squatting in a system that consistently scalds.
Don't be fooled into thinking that a small group of friends,
Cannot change the world!

That's the only thing that ever hurts,
The only thing that ever ends.

Stand up!
Stand up!

That's the only thing that ever hurts,
The only thing that ever ends.

Stand up!
Stand up!

Here behind those eyes,
There is something you should know!

Oooohh, behind those eyes,
We reach through the callous disguise
Into fortresses where they fabricate whitewash and lies,
We were fooled into living with a small pack of thieves,
That disturbed the world.

That's what this antique structure creates,
What this antique structure creates!

Stand up!
Stand up!

That's what this antique structure creates,
What this antique structure creates!

Stand up!
Stand up!

Here behind those eyes,
There is something you should know.

We are all connected.
We are all connected.

NOW CHANGE THE WORLD.

We blast behind those eyes,
Smash through to the cortex.
Gut wrenching business,
Not psyched for the vortex.

This can't be real! Ahhh!

Here behind those eyes,
There is something you should know.
Hid behind those eyes,
There is something you should know.

Don't be fooled into thinking that a small group of friends,
Cannot change the world!


10. HELLO TYRANNOSAURUS, MEET TYRANNICIDE

Hello Tyrannosaurus, meet Tyrannicide
You haven't read your history, have you? Just regurgitated lies
And everything taught to you; that no man is too tall
You can grow, but remember - empires always fall

We're not your subjects
You're not our king

You don't invent
You don't create
Now's our chance to eradicate

11. CONSTELLATIONS

Packing the last few shirts into a bloated suitcase
Last glimpse of comfort and the ticking clock face
I swear those hands move faster everyday
I'm more confused than ever but I don't beg or pray
'Cause the sparkling light from the morning sun
Is all we should need to feel one

I reach the station with just minutes to spare
Glance at my watch, time's going faster these days, I swear
Eyes focus up now to the train timetable board
There's only two platforms to be explored
And it's then that I admit it to myself
That I am lost, so lost, but you're the constellations that guide me

There's a train at twelve, destination "Disaster"
It's running on time as time runs faster
On platform two, it's destination "Sustainability"
It's delayed though, it was supposed to arrive at 11:50
Platform one, it says "Stand behind the yellow line"
(That I am lost, so lost, but you're the constellations)
But I sit on the platform edge and just gaze at the time
(That guide me)

My mind wanders back to our oblivious existence
I'm all choked up now with the threat of distance
As the train bound for "Disaster" chokes up to the station
I don't board it 'cause I decide that it's the wrong destination
But the train bound for "Sustainability" is nowhere to be seen
And I'm lost, so lost
Where are the constellations that guide me?

And then I realize that
We need to use our own two feet to walk these tracks
And we have to squad up and we have to watch each other's backs
With forgiveness as our torch, and imagination our sword
We'll untie the ropes of hate and slash open the minds of the bored
And we'll start a world so equal and free
Every inch of this Earth is yours, all the land and all the sea
Imagine no restrictions, but the climate and the weather
Then we can explore space together forever

(And I am lost, so lost, you are the constellations)


12. QUELLE SURPRISE

Analysis of the human race in 2011 AD
We've got the technology to move forward
We've got the knowledge and the means to build upstream
We've got the technology to go faster
We've got the passion and the talent to make this real

We're so fucking adaptable, controvertible, ducking and weaving from the truth
If it adds weight to the content of our pockets
We'll sit and stagnate with banks and use rockets
To oversee that it's our bottom line that gets carried to the high seas
Well quelle fucking surprise

If you stand for nothing you will fall for anything for anything
If you stand for nothing you will fall for anything for anything

We're aware they're trying to take away our dreams
We're aware they're trying to take away our means

If you stand for nothing you will fall for anything for anything
If you stand for nothing you will fall for anything for anything

We're aware they're trying to take away our dreams
We're aware they're trying to take away our means

If you stand for nothing
If you stand for nothing
If you stand for nothing
You will fall for anything

We're so fucking adaptable, controvertible, ducking and weaving from the truth
If it adds weight to the content of our pockets
We'll sit and stagnate with banks and use--
To oversee that it's our bottom line that gets ca--
Well quelle fucking surprise

We're aware they're trying to take away our dreams
We're aware they're trying to take away our means
We're aware they're trying to take away our dreams
We're aware they're trying to take away our means

You are not gonna take away our dreams
You are not gonna take away our dreams
You are not gonna take away our dreams
You are not gonna take away our means


13. DESTABILISE

Today for the very first time
We started planning out the ultimate crime
Locking together to destroy this cold stasis
Rory C what's your thesis? "I don't fucking believe this"
Institutions are established and invested
Pause to ask "are they tried and tested?"
No, just forced fed and digested
It's about time we damn contested

You can't stain us
You can't contain us
You can't destabilise, divide or label us
You can't stain us
You can't contain us
You can't destabilise
Destabilise.

Now they're cracking under pressure from our force
'Cause we don't belong here
So we're rising through the stubborn assault course
'Cause we don't belong here (We don't belong here)
We don't belong here.

Our minds are dormant and static
Don't ever respect conventional thought without reason
We need to fucking erupt!

Corrupted fucking tyrants, instigating violence
This sporadic discordance will find maximum assurance

Now they're cracking under pressure from our force
'Cause we know
'Cause we don't belong here
So we're rising through the stubborn assault course
But we're stuck in the middle
'Cause we don't belong here
Now they're cracking under pressure from our force
'Cause we don't belong here
So we're rising through the stubborn assault course

This is the calm before the storm
One last siege to break the norm
So I can lie here on the floor, beside you

No one owns the oceans
No one owns the mountains
No one owns us
No one owns us
We've all inherited this world
We need to fucking erupt!
'Cause this earth is ours

We need to fucking erupt!
YEAH!

Now they're cracking under pressure from our force
'Cause we know
'Cause we don't belong here
So we're rising through the stubborn assault course
'Cause we don't belong here
Now they're cracking under pressure from our force
'Cause we don't belong here
So we're rising through the stubborn assault course
'Cause we don't belong here

This is the calm before the storm
One last siege to break the norm
