| This is the sound of
|
| Someone switching the sound off
|
| Cause they’re fed up off having orders barked at em
|
| By bitches and hound dogs
|
| They’re all about the peace and quiet
|
| Stress-free, less beef than a vegan diet
|
| Unwilling to hear that type of noise at any time of day
|
| Sick of fleeing it but still avoiding it like the plague
|
| The world gets deafening
|
| They fill their filters with the words that they’re meant to hear
|
| Now everything’s perfectly engineered
|
| To sound superb when it enters ears
|
| Reality’s a loud affair
|
| They’ll do everything in their power to get out of there
|
| Drowning out the sound by letting my album blare
|
| While doing crazy things like swimming naked in the fountain on Trafalgar Square
|
| Isn’t it funny how far they’ll go
|
| Just to show they’re not listening to anything they don’t want to hear
|
| Isn’t it funny how far they’ll go
|
| Just to show they don’t give a shit about anything they want us to fear
|
| They get around town with a carefree bop
|
| While kids get patted down by unfriendly cops
|
| Pigs claiming there’s drugs, telling naughty porkies
|
| Knowing that the only crack’ll come from their walkie-talkies
|
| And as the coppers radio for backup
|
| They don’t stop, they turn the radios back up
|
| And reflect, cause that’s the only way they won’t crack up
|
| Broken mirrors can create a load of bad luck
|
| They still wanna get ahead
|
| Listening to what Gil Scott-Heron said
|
| They keep the television muted
|
| That’s no place for a revolution, stupid
|
| They resent who the leaders are
|
| Cause even though it’s rudimental to feel the love
|
| Governments are rude and mental, don’t give a fuck
|
| They blew men, women and children up
|
| They’re still doing it, a nice and honest man?
|
| How nice can he be with a child’s blood on his hands?
|
| We thought they wanted peace, but violence was the plan
|
| We trust killers like sheep, it’s the silence of the lambs
|
| They might not be around money very often
|
| But they can hear the sound of the penny dropping
|
| Only just cause those in politics are careless
|
| Showing their true colours, just a lot of different yellers |
