Sound System Lyrics - All Rebel Rockers - Michael Franti

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
