Tribalism - Enter Shikari

Shikari

Was third generation Aztec

His tribe accepting human reality

It was the basis of their ability to sustain with humble tranquillity

Civilisations encouraged religions which in turn introduced depravity

And that was a bigger realisation as when my boy Newton discovered gravity

Because it transformed the way we bounce about

On a daily basis, were content with a doubt about the knowledge of who’s out

there

Quick, Give him a name a trident and a chair

Sharpish, what happened to wonder?

Why can’t we accept when our people believe thunder

So we welcome the lies with open arms and we turn into suckers when they turn

on the charm

Trying to run us all into the ground to be swallowed by the soil and trapped by the rain

(In your concrete garden a fortress)

Reach through our speakers, and we don’t turn them off

because trapped in silence is 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 five

But the catch is dogs don’t eat other dogs

were able animals employed by criminals in this cannibalistic society

Where we scrimp and save just to behave with the utmost propriety

Trying to run us all into the ground to be swallowed by the soil and trapped by the rain

(In your concrete garden a fortress)

(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!

We won’t 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!

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.

And we won’t stay silent;

we’ll make as much noise as we can!

We Won’t Stay Silent!
