Lyricist:Aniruddha Das, John Ashok Pandit, Steve Chandra Savale, Deedar Zaman
For the consciousness of the nation The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation
The music we make It cuts across borders We never make music to someone else's orders Plenty of issues on the agenda If you want to lend a helping hand
You're always told to shut up and dance But you have to change this-take a chance Turn the tables, we know you're able Don't just consume, make your own tune
The music, we use it, we're making a stand I wouldn't call this a green and pleasant land A conscious response is what we demand Challenge the system and those in command
Express your opinion, it's your domain If you fail to do this, you are partly to blame My heart is beating, no retreat The battle continues, we'll suffer no defeat
This war you've been waging, it's time we were raging In our minds and on the streets Sample this, it's an education The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation
Look around you, yeah, open your mind Check it out, tell me what you find Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Here to document a situation The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation
Hope and glory, a myth of the stories We're here to tell you a different story Here to readdress the situation The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation
A rapper I may be but packaged I'm not I'll slip through the noose before you tie the knot This work in progress not slick but rough Breaking all records, twelve inches ain't enough Sample this, it's an education The sounds of the original, the original
We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic The only 'E' we use is electric An Asian background that's what's reflected But this militant vibe ain't what you expected
With your liberal minds, you patronize our culture Scanning the surface like vultures With your tourist mentality, we're still the natives You multicultural but we're anti-racist We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic The only 'e' we use is electric
And we cry Them coulda never escape Disya judgment
