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 its 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-you I just need you, 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, you I just need you, you
