Lyrics
A Word and A Beat
Feedback from the satellites.
It’s all just a cycling hummmm.
Loops of palatable plastic waste: chewing digital bubble- gum.
Don’t stop running when you hear it coming,
We’ve gotta keep us on the move.
The steel wheel’s turning as the flags are burnin’
And we’ve got nothing to prove - Nothing to prove!
We are doing fine.
Down here rockin’ all the time.
With a word and a beat and 600 watts a strumming,
From the underground you can hear the train a comin’, yeah!
A manifesto issued forth today from the disautomatik brigade.
It said “Gone are the days of the streets of romance
And the safe, safe, censored airwaves.
We kick our radios off the bridge tonight,
We steal our music back from the sky
We mash-up, trash-up, love like we love,
‘cause we’re taking our own piece of the pie!
And there ain’t no “why?”
We are doing fine!
Down here rockin’ all the time.
With a word and a beat and 600 watts a strumming,
From the underground you can hear the train a comin’ miles away!
We are doing fine!
Down here rockin’ all the time.
With a word and a beat and 600 watts strumming,
From the underground you can hear the train a comin’ miles away!
We are doing fine
Roots radicals rockin’ all of the time
With a word and a beat and 20 strings strumming,
In the underground you can always hear it coming! Yeah!
We’re doing fine!
And we don’t mind!
We’ll be just fine!
When the industry dies!
Let it die!
(Marek Vermin)
