The sound of the weapon called a microphone
Bring the revolution on
Broadcasting till the early morn' and
Pirate radio rockin' it onRevolution 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 5With 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 sweatThe jobs, the bills, the phone, the spills
Somebody hand you a hand full o' pills
So you hold em up, pop 'em downYour head's like record going gonk a gonk
The beat keeps bumping pound for pound
And the whole wide world try to beat you downBut soundsystem, here's a warnin'
Soundsystem turn it on
And soundsystem microphone
And Babylon system soon come downSoundsystem, here's a warnin'
Soundsystem turn it on
And soundsystem microphone
And this system gonna rock this townDrug dealers teachers preachers
Are all believers, stock brokers
Law inforcers, late night cokers
Arms dealers, man stealersBig wheelers, three piece stealers
Also politicians
Ha, ha, everybody's on a mission
Choose your poison, girls, boys
All make your choiceAnd call the doctor

This system gonna rock this townBedroom 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

And soundsystem microphone
And Babylon system soon come down
