Enter Shikari - Tribalism lyrics

Shikari was a third generation Aztec
His tribe accepting human reality
It was the basis of their ability
To sustain with humble tranquility
But civilisations encouraged religions which
In turn introduced depravity
And that was as big a realisation as
When my boy Newton discovered gravity
(hahaha)
'Cause it transformed the way we bounce
About on a daily basis
Not content with a doubt about the
Knowledge of who's up there
Quick! Give him a name, a
Trident and a chair, sharpish!
What happened to wonder?
Why can't we accept we're
Not capable of thunder?
So we welcome the lies with open arms
And we turn into suckers when
They turn on the charm

You're trying to run us all into the ground
To be swallowed by the soil
And trapped by the rain
In your concrete garden of falseness
You shout through our speakers and
We don't turn them off
'Cause trapped in silence it's tougher
But this time we'll turn the speakers off
And we won't stay silent
We'll make as much noise as we can

And I ask, "What's a thought without a
Voice to voice it?" it's just a thought
It's just a thought it's just a thought
And I ask, "What's a thought without a
Voice to voice it?" it's just a thought
It's just a thought

The original affluent society
Floating free of capitalistic anxiety
But all that's survived now is the pack vibe
But the catch is dogs don't eat other dogs
We're able animals employed by criminals
In this cannibalistic society
Where we scrimp and save just to
Behave with the utmost propriety

You're trying to run us all into the ground
To be swallowed by the soil
And trapped by the rain
In your concrete garden of falseness
You're trying to run us all into the ground
To be swallowed by the soil
And trapped by the rain
In your concrete garden of falseness
You shout through our speakers and
We don't turn them off
'Cause trapped in silence it's tougher
But this time we'll turn the speakers off
And we won't stay silent
We'll make as much noise as we can

And I ask, "What's a thought without a
Voice to voice it?" it's just a thought
It's just a thought it's just a thought
And I ask, "What's a thought without a
Voice to voice it?" it's just a thought
It's just a thought it's just a thought
We will shout our heads off
We won't stop until you hear
We won't stop until you
Trip up upon yourselves
I see a kid with his mouth shut and I ask
"What's a thought without a
Voice to voice it?" it's just a thought
It's just a thought it's just a thought
It's just a thought
I see a kid with his mouth shut and I ask
"What's a thought without a
Voice to voice it?" it's just a thought
It's just a thought it's just a thought
It's just a thought

And we won't stay silent
We'll make as much noise as we can
We won't stay silent
We'll make as much noise as we can

We won't stay silent we won't stay silent
We won't stay silent we won't stay silent
We won't stay silent we won't stay silent
We won't stay silent we won't stay silent
We won't stay silent
