ENTER SHIKARI – 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
You see the airwaves are clogged up
But the fickle they lap it up
They need to be drowned in condiments
And left to ponder sense

Warm smiles, they do not make you welcome here

Snap back to reality
The turbulence is blowing us from side to side
But no matter how hard you try
Surrounded by cannon fodder inundated with
Stagnant sounds
Transformation in progress
Transformation complete

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

ENTER SHIKARI – System…

There was a house in a field on the side of the cliff,
And the waves crashing below were just said to be a myth,
So they ignored the warnings from the ships and 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 the cliff,
And the waves crashing below were just said to be a myth,
So they ignored the warnings from the ships and the docks,
Now the house on the cliff is the wreckage on the rocks,

Nothing can fix the buildings flawed foundations,
but 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 outter space,
I dressed up as a super hero 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 effect 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 times,
to be alive,
Our generations got to fight,
to survive,
It’s in your hands now,
The future,
OUR FUTURE!
OUR FUTURE!

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,

Brightly colored, no use for camouflage,
When you’re venomous and willing to sabotage.

Fighting off parasites
We’re your system mechanics
Trying to fix this machine

More speed, more strength,
And goes deeper than us?
A nuclear submarine.

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

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
But 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

Can anyone hear the same distress call?

So this is a quest to save the world,
And he’ll always be here for another,
Another day, another chance to rescue

I only smoke weed when I need to
and I need to get some rest
yo wheres the sex
I confess
I burned a hole in the mattress yes yes
that was me, I plead guilty
and at the count of three
I pulled back the duvet
make my way to the refrigerator
one dry potato inside
no lie not even bread, jam
when the light above my head went bam!
I can’t sleep, something’s all over me, greasy
Insomnia, please release me and let me dream
about making mad love on the heath,
tearing off tights with my teeth
but there’s no relief, I’m wide awake in my kitchen
It’s dark and I’m lonely
Oh if I could only get some sleep
Creaky noises make my skin creep
I need to get some sleep
I cant get no sleep.

ENTER SHIKARI – 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’s is just to blindingly consume to support a failing economy and a faulty system. Forever and ever until we run out of every resource and fall to the result to blowing each other up to ensure our own survival. I don’t think we’re supposed to sit by either 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 are 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 mobilize
Time to open eyes.
We are not a quiet pocket of resistance
This is real, but we cannot afford to fail
Act with, act with persistence
This is real, but we cannot afford to fail
Army, establish order
Respect me and fear me
Fuck you! We have no respect
And when tomorrow comes
We’re gonna step on your head
Woah, woah
Calm down, (calm down mate), calm the fuck down
Gandhi mate, remember Gandhi (Jesus, just remember)
Alright, alright I’m fine

See if we keep them silent then they’ll resort to violence
And that’s how we criminalize change

Awww, yabba dabba do
Understand, we don’t want your rules
Who you fooling son, we’ve got all the tools
We need to build a whole new system
To correct these flaws

You’re a communist
You’re a fucking utopianist
Ah here come, the immersive labels
But their attempted fails

Cause man, we’re so far out your comfort zone

ENTER SHIKARI – Constellations

Packing the last few shirts in to a bloated suitcase
Last glimpse of comfort and the ticking clock face
I swear those hands move faster everyday
More confused than ever but I don’t beg or pray
Cuz 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, times going faster these days I sware
Eyes focus up now to the trail 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 your 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, is says stand behind the yellow line
(That I am lost, so lost, but your 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 at the station
I don’t board it cuz 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
(I’ll need someone to write this line)
A grim sorrow, 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) [X5]

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!

Her eyes are fixed elsewhere
He’s confident, but he’s not aware
She doesn’t care

Their only connection
is the silence they both grasp
He’s lost control
But she’s not aware, of his stare

Everything seems to intimidate him,
With the strobe lights flashing, her body’s jolting
But cracking, as his eyes,
Split in two, if only she knew
If only she knew

Everything seems to be closing in on her
It feels just like she is being hunted
But it’s alright, it’s all good
