Frank Turner - 21st Century Survival Blues lyrics
[Frank Turner - 21st Century Survival Blues lyrics]
I've got the 21st century survival blues
A condition brought on by watching the news
Things have been quiet for far too long
And if I know human beings
Things are gonna go wrong
We were raised in a
Glade of unsustainable peace
Not many of us ever have to live on our knees
I'm scared that I won't have
The strength that it takes
To stand up when the levee breaks
So meet me at home when the sirens go off
I don't wanna be alone, so don't you get lost
I know a place where the two of us can hide
We can barricade the door and
We'd be safe inside
When the harsh winds blow and
The world gets cold
You can't trust kindness and
You can't eat gold
I've got the 21st century survival blues
But to tell you the truth, I just need you
I've got the 21st century survival blues
A generation raised up without
Paying it's dues
Comfortable enough to play around with doubt
Without knowing how to survive when
The lights go out
And if we take away the things
That they've been depending on
We'll be flailing like children
In a nursery home so I started making lists
Of the essential things
For when the storms bring what they bring
So meet me at home when the sirens go off
I don't wanna be alone, so don't you get lost
And I know a place where the
Two of us can hide
We can barricade the door and
We'd be safe inside
When the harsh winds blow and
The world gets cold
You can't trust kindness and
You can't eat gold
I've got the 21st century survival blues
But to tell you the truth, I just need you
I just need you
I've got the 21st century survival blues
I've got shelter, drinking water
I've got cupboards of food
And I know I can survive
In my apocalypse home
But what's the point of surviving
If you're just surviving alone
So meet me at home when the sirens go off
I don't wanna be alone, so don't you get lost
And I know a place where the
Two of us can hide
We can barricade the door and
We'd be safe inside
When the harsh winds blow and
The world gets cold
No you can't trust kindness and
You can't eat gold
I've got the 21st century survival blues
But to tell you the truth
Let me tell you the truth i just need you
I just need you
A condition brought on by watching the news
Things have been quiet for far too long
And if I know human beings
Things are gonna go wrong
We were raised in a
Glade of unsustainable peace
Not many of us ever have to live on our knees
I'm scared that I won't have
The strength that it takes
To stand up when the levee breaks
So meet me at home when the sirens go off
I don't wanna be alone, so don't you get lost
I know a place where the two of us can hide
We can barricade the door and
We'd be safe inside
When the harsh winds blow and
The world gets cold
You can't trust kindness and
You can't eat gold
I've got the 21st century survival blues
But to tell you the truth, I just need you
I've got the 21st century survival blues
A generation raised up without

Comfortable enough to play around with doubt
Without knowing how to survive when
