Lyrics

We gotta hold, hold on real tight
And hope it turns out alright
(repeat)



It dangles before me
Like it’s growing on trees
But I can’t find the money
To treat my disease

Stocks are sky high
Cos they make things real cheap
Only thing you can’t buy
Is a job you can keep

The factory’s closing
Cos it’s making a loss
Pretty soon I’ll be working
For a digital boss

They say we’ve reached bottom
And we can’t dig no more
It can’t get no worse
But I ain’t so sure

I’m in a meltdown
Can’t you see?
The city’s overcrowded but there’s no fish in the sea
(Yes) it’s a meltdown
Believe it or not,
There’s people starting wars over who said what
(Yeh) it’s (such/just) a meltdown
Won’t you hear my plea?
The temperature’s rising and the sweat’s pouring down off me

The owners are screaming
For more, more, more
The government’s yellin’
For war, war, war

The ice caps are melting
And the water ain’t clean
But no-one’s protesting
Cos they’re glued to a screen

There’s no room for musicians
Cos there’s nowhere go
Unless they audition
For a reality show

If I gotta wear tights
To swim in the sea
You can lock me up now
And throw away the key

I’m in a meltdown
Can’t you see?
The city’s overcrowded but there’s no fish in the sea
(Yes) it’s a meltdown
Believe it or not,
There’s people starting wars over who said what
(Yeh) it’s (such/just) a meltdown
Won’t you hear my plea?
The temperature’s rising and the sweat’s pouring down off me

We gotta hold, hold on real tight
And hope it turns out alright...

I’m taking a shower
Cos I need to cool off
The grid’s losing power
Guess it’s had enough

I’m going away
Not coming back soon
To a place that makes sense
They call it the moon

I’m in a meltdown
Can’t you see?
The city’s overcrowded but there’s no fish in the sea
(Yes) it’s a meltdown
Believe it or not,
There’s people starting wars over who said what
(Yeh) it’s (such/just) a meltdown
Won’t you hear my plea?
The temperature’s rising and the sweat’s pouring down off me
