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
