Name: Fever (In Our Eyes)
Duration: P00H04M32S
Description: Inspired by the London riots in the summer of 2011, this song shines a light on how addicted we've become to material posessions and the extent people go to to get their hands on them. How far would people go to get an iPhone in the future? Will we be running around looting shops and trucks when the social status-quo collapses?

lyrics

Thieves run amok
Broke down trucks
The belly opened up
The heart ripped out

Thieves survive, rely
On the bones and the scraps of meat
That are keeping us alive

Grab your things and say goodbye
This ain't a warning its a battle cry
There's a fever in our eyes

Bulbs expire, retire
Civilians open fire...

Thieves survive, rely
On the bones and the scraps of meat
That are keeping them alive

Grab your things and say goodbye
This ain't a warning its a battle cry
Maybe the fever in our eyes
One day will subside
