Techno D-day Lyrics - Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros

Well, it was a techno D-day out on Omaha beach 

I was a reserved D.J. playing Columbian mountain beats 

Andres Landero, ay mi sombrero 

Hold onto your hats, we gotta go 

Because the noise inspector's with the sound detectors 

Were coming on down the beach 

And the counselors wanna pounce on us 

There we go disturbing the peace 

And the Cornish sun only just begun 

To sink into the western sea 

So to keep it low so the cops don't know 

And I spun my Harry Belafonte 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

On a techno D-day, a techno D-day 

Out on Omaha beach 

Where the troops believe in the life of freedom 

And this is all about free speech 

The day became night by the campfire light 

The crowd began testifying 

Using my headphones for a mike, for tenor saw's delight 

I sang another new sound is dying 

On a techno D-day, a techno D-day 

Where [Incomprehensible] the law can't reach 

On a techno D-day, a techno D-day 

We waited on Omaha beach 

We waited and we waited 

Behind me in the booth was the techno crew 

Ready with the crucial beats 

Still they said, "Keep it low, spin your calypso 

We're waiting for Babylon to retreat" 

The crowd was ready to riot, they were sick of being quiet 

We're still waiting for the signal to go 

Then the walkie talkie gear spat out the all clear 

And the boys hit the decks in full flow, go, g-g-go 

It was a techno D-day, a techno D-day 

Way out on Omaha beach 

Where the troops believe in a life of freedom 

And this is all about free speech 

Techno D-day, a techno D-day 

Way out on Omaha beach 

Where the troops believe in a life of freedom 

And this is about free speech 

Go, go, techno D-day, go, techno D-day 

Sometimes you have to get out of reach 

It was a techno D-day, a techno D-day 

And this is all about free speech
