THE PIONEERS

 

If it can be broke then it can be fixed

If it can be fused then it can be split

It's all under control

It's all under control

It's all under control

It's all under control

 

If it can be lost then it can be won

If it can be touched then it can be turned

All you need is time

All you need is time

All you need is time

All you need is… time

All you need is… time

 

If it can be broke then it can be fixed

If it can be fused then it can be split

It's all under control

It's all under control

It's all under control

It's all under control

 

If it can be lost then it can be won

If it can be touched then it can be turned

All you need is time

All you need is time

All you need is time

All you need is

 

We promised the world we'd tame it

What were we hoping for?

We promised the world we'd tame it

What were we hoping for?

We promised the world we'd tame it

What were we hoping for?

We promised the world we'd tame it

What were we hoping for?

 

A sense of purpose and a sense of skill

A sense of function but a disregard

We will not be the first

We will not be the first

We will not be the first

We will

We said we were gonna conquer new frontiers

Go stick your bloody head in the jaws of the beast

 

We promised the world we'd tame it

What were we hoping for?

We promised the world we'd tame it

What were we hoping for?

We promised the world we'd tame it

What were we hoping for?

We promised the world we'd tame it

What were we hoping for?

 

Breathe in, breathe out

Breathe in, breathe out

Breathe in, breathe out

Breathe in

 

So here we are reinventing the wheel

I'm shaking hands with a hurricane

It's a colour that I can't describe

It's a language I can't understand

Ambition, tearing out the heart of you

Carving lines into you

Dripping down the sides of you

 

We will not be the last

We will not be the last

We will not be the last
