Lyrics 21st Century Survival Blues - Frank Turner
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
in
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
