Asian Dub Foundation Lyrics

  Send "Jericho" Ringtone to your Cell  

Written by: Das, Pandit, Savale, ZamanFor the consciousness of the nationThe sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation:The music we make It cuts across bordersWe never make music to someone else's ordersPlenty of issues on the agendaif you want to lend a helping handYou're always told to shut up and danceBut you have to change this-take a chanceTurn the tables,We know you're ableDon't just consumeMake your own tune.The music, we use itWe're making a standI wouldn't call this a green and pleasant landA conscious response is what we demandChallenge the system and those in commandExpress your opinionIt's your domainIf you fail to do this You are partly to blameMy heart is beatingNo retreatThe battle continuesWe'll suffer no defeatThis war you've been wagingIt's time we were ragingIn our minds And on the streetsSample this It's an educationThe sounds of the Asian Dub FoundationLook around you, yeahOpen your mindCheck it out, tell me what you findHere to document a situationThe sounds of the Asian Dub FoundationHope and glory A myth of the toriesWe're here to tell you a different storyHere to readress the situationThe sounds of the Asian Dub FoundationA rapper i may be But packaged I'm notI'll slip through the noose before you tie the knotThis work in progress not slick but roughBreaking all records Twelve inches ain't enoughSample thisIt's an educationThe sounds of the original, the original ....We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclecticThe only 'e' we use is electricAn Asian background that's what's reflectedBut this millitant vibe ain't what you expectedWith your liberal minds You patronise our cultureScanning the surface like vulturesWith your tourist mentalitywe're still the nativesYou multicultural but we're anti-racistWe ain't ethnic, exotic or eclecticThe only 'e' we use is electricAnd we cryThem coulda never escapeDisya judgement ......
