Step Up - Enter Shikari

If our own lives aren’t directly affected,

Then it don’t need to be corrected!

How fucking cute is our ignorance,

As they’re praying for deliverance.

We shutter ourselves from the outcries,

We blinker ourselves from the eyesores,

Cause I know we have greatness within us!

(We have greatness within us; innovative, giving, determined —

it’s time for the best in us to come out)

(Search) And you can find inbalance

(Seek) You can destroy inbalance

And you can change your values

(Step up today) Step up today

Yes, solid

Now let me get one thing straight

You know what?

Sometimes I do wish apples were our currency

So your hoarded millions rot in their vaults

And that’d teach you to lay off the assault

That you’re barraging on the lands of the poor

And I know we’ve all got enough problems of our own

But-but they’re not showstoppers sitting on our throne in a home

Heated by a life unknown to the exploited

And it’s so frustrating — the fucking state we’re in!

If our own lives aren’t directly affected,

Then it don’t need to be corrected!

How fucking cute is our ignorance,

As they’re praying for deliverance.

We shutter ourselves from the outcries,

We blinker ourselves from the eyesores

(Search) And you can find inbalance

(Seek) You can destroy inbalance

And you can change your values

(Step up today) Step up today

(Search) And you can find inbalance

(Seek) You can destroy inbalance

And you can change your values
