Soundsystem
Michael Franti & Spearhead

The sound of the weapon called a microphone

Bring the revolution on

Broadcasting till the early morn' and

Pirate radio rockin' it on


Revolution on the dance floor

Tell me what you're fightin' for

Because this DJ gonna keep you alive

Forget about your troubles and your 9 to 5


With the rhythm of the funk

The pump the bump, people have you arrive

From the place you left, trying to forget

All the things you sweat


The jobs, the bills, the phone, the spills

Somebody hand you a hand full o' pills

So you hold em up, pop 'em down


Your head's like record going gonk a gonk

The beat keeps bumping pound for pound

And the whole wide world try to beat you down


But soundsystem, here's a warnin'

Soundsystem turn it on

And soundsystem microphone

And Babylon system soon come down


Soundsystem, here's a warnin'

Soundsystem turn it on

And soundsystem microphone

And this system gonna rock this town


Drug dealers teachers preachers

Are all believers, stock brokers

Law inforcers, late night cokers

Arms dealers, man stealers


Big wheelers, three piece stealers

Also politicians

Ha, ha, everybody's on a mission

Choose your poison, girls, boys

All make your choice



And call the doctor

He ain't never on a vacation

Gonna send medication knows

You jonesion' disco addiction


Mainline, bass line

Show me what your working with

Show me what your workin' with


Soundsystem, here's a warnin'

Soundsystem turn it on

And soundsystem microphone

And Babylon system soon come down


All night long from the day you're born

All night till the early morning

All night from your born

All night till the day you're gone


All night from the day you're born

All night to the early morning

All night from the day you're born

This system gonna rock this town


Bedroom putting on a uniform

Dialing the numbers on a xylophone

Starin' at the mirror, watching you transformin'


Making sure they all know you alone

Rollin' up a twenty, gonna blow the horn

Late night ticket for the unicorn

Everybody looking for the same old porno


Could a DJ save or soul now?

Show me what your working with

Show me what your working with


Soundsystem, here's a warnin'

Soundsystem turn it on

And soundsystem microphone

And Babylon system soon come down
